Two probes looking at gangway accident BY PIERRE-YVES ROGER
Prosecutor Pierre-Marie Block said the investigations were centering on 'multiple technical causes.' One possible cause was that the gangway was overloaded.
Another theory was that the walkway was hastily installed. Chantiers de l'Atlantique, the builder of the QM2, had ordered a walkway 4.5 feet wide so visitors could access the ship. But Endel, the company that has furnished such structures for the vessel since 2002, delivered a 3.3-foot-wide one instead, Block said. Another one was quickly ordered and installed Friday to accommodate a weekend visit.
Endel, a unit of French water and energy conglomerate Suez, said Monday that it is cooperating with the prosecutor's investigation, which could lead to manslaughter charges.------------------------------------------- posted 6:18 AM :: reference link ::
