No no no.....by all means....I love the discussion. I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page that's all. I for one would not want to believe that someone could do such a thing as to kill other shipmates no matter how upset you were. But the one thing that comes to my mind is the way the Japanese culture, how do I say this, seems to overexaggerate the concept of personnel honor. Combine this with the type of accusation, a crewman being accused of theft, in the context of living on a ship where privacy is a very rare and difficult thing to achieve. It may not be beyond the realm of the possible for this to cause someone who might be on the edge to start with to snap and lash out. Now having said this and having been a sailor, I realize that no system is what we called "sailor proof". I would tend to more readily believe that somebody, possibly taking a shortcut, or just not following the exact procedures along with some other extenuating circumstances combined to cause this accidental explosion.
