Up next, it is determined water makes things wet.
That was my first reaction, but the regulatory gaps highlighted are actually pretty important.
Also, water is wet.
No, water is not wet, it makes other things wet.
If water is surrounded by water, how is it not making itself wet?
They worked really hard to avoid oversight. Of course, that was the whole point.
They had contact with multiple federal agencies, including Transport Canada, Parks Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans. DFO in particular flagged concerns, and failed to pass them on to Transport Canada.
Oceangate was a terrible company run by a terrible person, but we shouldn't be dismissing this story.
I apologize if I sounded dismissive. Any agency that dropped the ball should be held accountable.

No shit.
