Gondola issue and nine year olds' parents

Subject: Gondola issue and nine year olds' parents

I think the issue that is being missed, is that parents who are whining the loudest, must be under the impression when a crisis like the stranding of the gondola happen, that either a television crew will swoop in and keep them up to date minute by minute, or it will fixed in 30 minutes so call can go home, or a lawyer will come to the rescue.

 

Sometimes things just go wrong, and it takes professionals time to execute a plan for a rescue.

 

The police do this. The fire department do this. The search and rescue people do this.

 

If you want to stay safe, and live in a fantasy world of the world of television, one should not venture out in to the unscripted real world.

 

What should be the real story, is that there were no loss of life and that the people on the ski hill performed their duties so that this did not happen.

 

Stop giving the whining parents their fifteen minutes of fame, and turn the spotlight to the staff of the ski hill. The latter deserve the spotlight, the former do not.

 

Thank you
