Well obviously. That's the impact of screwing up.
I'm just remarking at the number of things that had to go wrong for this to occur. It would have taken several peoples'/parties' negligent actions. I'm not saying they don't deserve blame, because they do.
One thing that's been bugging me through all this is the opinion writers and letters to the Herald that have been saying, "See!! The Alberta oilsands aren't so bad now are they???". Just because we haven't destroyed an ecosystem the size of Newfoundland doesn't mean we don't have room to improve. As mom used to say, two wrongs don't make a right.
