I hope others respect and share your approach.

Yeah, it's not an easy read. I read it in my office aboard ship as we steamed down Lake Michigan, and it really made my guts churn. Hearing people just like me in that situation is really awful.
It was a really well written article though. It really highlighted the personalities of some of the crew. It was a nice tribute in that regard, I think. I also like how the author didn't just lazily blame any one person or part of the organization. They recognized all of the small errors, failures, and misjudgments that make up the chain of events that led them there. The blame was borne by all who deserved it.
I guess I shared it here because I don't know where else to. I certainly can't post that to facebook for my family to read...
