> There's even a case where this resulted in an air disaster Lets not forget Sewol disaster 'recovery efforts' ▶ this video link where no rescue was even attempted before letting President decide (establishing video feed to command center).
link ▶ this video A friend of mine was involved with computer forensics on recovered cellphones on this one. Just awful.
If you're interested in light retrospectives this is ok for a modern day ferry disaster - What Went Wrong in the South Korean Ferry Disaster? (28 mins) ▶ this video The MS Estonia also has doco's on Youtube
This somehow resembles both Fukushima and Korean Sewol disaster 'recovery efforts', ▶ this video . Social norms (face, status) above common sense.
