It is good to understand what happened, to be sure to be more prepared for the next one (hopefully there won't be any). However, as I said, this should not be the priority number 1 at the moment: people first).

Guess as a vegetation ecologist I'm more prone to look to what happened and what can be done from now on to avoid a similar result. That's my main worry at the moment, and yes, I'm angry because I believe this could be avoided.
I understand that, and you are right to be angry!
