I was reffering, in general, to the apparent notion that this joint--as
the History Channel special seemed to suggest--was an accident waiting
to happen, and can be blamed, in large part, for the catastrophe. Were
that true, I should have thought OLYMPIC would have shown some evidence
of the problem. I agree with your premise from what i've seen of it.
