Seems that it is all too common for Americans to assume the risks of hazardous businesses. Our history is filled with instances when the American people pay in lives, quality of life and dollars for business risks that were unforeseeable, or too speculative, or too expensive to insure...capitalism at its essential and greedy best...

I feel no contempt for the factory owner either... i come from industry... I've served as a point of contact between the industry and government regulatory agencies... you do what they let you do... often times the government bogs you down with so much red tape, when they let you get away with something, you get away with it as quick as you can...

They had 2 back up sources that weren't protected above the 6' flood mark... when a company's worst case scenario looks like this company's, where loss of power equals total loss of control and catastrophic results, you would expect redundancies somewhere to the effect of "if power source A fails due to catastrophic flooding, power source B would not fail because fill in the blank"...

Not claiming to be an expert... just expressing a real sense of shock...
