How will putting this guy in prison make the crews any safer if UPS keeps putting packages on their airplanes that were clearly marked for ground delivery?
This case caused a hugh and series ripple in the HAZMAT community. Raised awareness and caused companies to reevaluate their shipping methods. We even had a meeting with UPS and we don’t ship anything nearly as hazardous as sodium. This guy probably would of gotten off easier if they didn’t have the improper storage charge. He was acquitted on some charges by a jury.
