Submarine Testimony

* Re “Defense Begins to Take Shape in Submarine Crash Inquiry,” March 12: Cmdr. Scott Waddle can say he wasn’t at fault because of bad information from the crew. But one thing he is totally at fault for is the fact that after the accident happened he didn’t give immediate assistance to the stricken boat. Why? They knew they hit something and that people were in trouble, but did the commander direct his men to a rescue and first aid? No. That could have meant the difference for those who didn’t make it.

Where is the apology for that?
