We have the hindsight with full knowledge of the risk they were taking. I'd bet they only thought they were risking their next paycheck, not their lives.
You think floodwaters rising towards your building isn't sufficient signs to know that you're in a dangerous situation?
I'm sorry but I've seen enough in life to know you do not fuck with water on the move. Floods are dangerous as fuck. If the water is rising around you, get the fuck out of dodge or as high up as you can get.
Nobody has ever been surprised by flood waters before. Paths of travel in low lying areas have never been cut off unexpectedly before. It must just be these dumb workers fault they drowned. /s
That area has never had that level of flooding since it was settled. Sure, everyone knows floods are dangerous, but not even the meteorologists were expecting the extent of flooding they actually got.
Have some humility and realize that you have access to knowledge now that would have sounded crazy before the events.
And f you’re in a factory hard at work, presumably can’t see the water rising, aren’t listening to the news? While they should have known ahead of time there was a bad storm, that’s different from knowing the factory would flood, and it’s quite possible they had no way to know while they worked. This is purely on management for staying open
Right right. That's what they were trying to do. And they died. So what are you going on about?
