“he insists that the families must be informed first so that they get information from him and not from the press.”
Only a complete idiot wouldn’t do that! He gets no points from me for that.
Sago mine was the same. Families were told first. That is SOP.
There are lots of complete idiots out there.
I give him credit for doing the right thing, as far as I can tell, even if everyone else is doing the right thing, too.
I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes and I would want to be given the benefit of the doubt if I were.
He’s under more stress than we probably can imagine and I think he deserves to be judged kindly at the moment.
