Okay, I don't quite understand this from the BBC report:

... the prosecution argued that the scientists were "just too reassuring"

What counts as too reassuring and who was reassured?

What was the convicted scientists remit in terms of their employment?

Was it their job to make decisions about evacuation, public announcements, or what?

If they made media announcements, did they have editorial control?

I'm confused. confused

309 people dead, half a dozen scientists about to end up in the slammer on potentially trumped up manslaughter charges for six years a piece.

I see GS has commented.

"Oh. What's occurring?" thinks I, expecting some great political wisdom from the youth of today.

Nah. I just remind him of Nessa.

"I feels good."

I'd have given them life. Instead of giving warnings on the evidence they had, they told people to relax and have a glass of wine. These guys were 'Experts' but behaved as amateurs, resulting in multiple deaths.

Look, if they can cause earthquakes, a small tunnel out of the prison should be a walk in the park to them. laugh
