There was a similar incident near here (Calgary) about 6 months ago or so. In this case it was a rescue in an abandoned mine. In this case the local paramedics...

Jack Stanford, If a live grenade were in front of me, I hope I'd have the presence of mind and the strength to evacuate, throw it far from everybody, or run & ...
Valerie, You raise very good and interesting questions. In the end; however, I believe that Jack Sanford is right: All we can do is give people the information...
Mike Mulligan, I understand what you mean about the horror of watching a person die. But thinking about the risks and choosing to accept them is different than...
Valerie, By the way, I was at work and on the clock. I just think you are getting to the point of the “event horizon”. An event horizon of a stellar black...
Say you have a rule to not cross this line...well you are really not trying to control behavior....you are using rules as the means of defining accountability....
Mike, Do you think that we have a taboo against blaming the victim? Does this taboo keep the potential victim population from learning things that would help...
Mike, How would you define 'event horizon' for root cause analysis? How would you apply the concept? Take care, Bill Corcoran Mission: Saving lives, pain,...
Hmmm...blame can be a wonderful tool to me to understand and learn from a situation....especially if I think I am a victim. I like people being upfront with...
R.E. Emergency Centers. I was Director of Station Emergency Operations for many years (rotating position which I shared). One of the issues with such...
(So why not put “mercaptan” or some such chemical in nitrogen or any industrial gas....as they do to get that rotten egg smell in natural gas? How hard...
Bill C. and Mike M., I think "event horizon" is a neat expression. It suggests to me the point at which you recognize the first sign of an event. At that...

Bill C., Whoa! In your Rooticians' Dictionary, on your new line item defining "Event Horizon", your Column 3 states "It's common sense and plain English. It is...

Bill Salot, I made some adjustments. Mike gets credit for introducing the term to root cause analysis. I first ran across the term about ten years ago in a...
