Yikes, normalcy bias kicking in here (i.e. the human belief that "everything is normal" even as stuff is going south). #disasters

Ooh, failure to trigger a major evacuation in time right here. Either too caught up in the moment and loss of situational awareness, or panic, or not realizing how bad the situation was. #CampMystic #disasters

These are the lucky ones who didn't die... looks like delay in evacuating all the cabins by the river (attempting to do the evac one cabin at a time) 😬

Hmm, looks like they can tell your time of death by drowning when your watch stops, if you're wearing one.

IMHO, this is 100% a "we don't need to worry about floods, because there's never been a flood here, the cabins are safe" problem, so they did not think through procedures and watching out for a disaster. So, their response was all in the moment with no planning or foresight, and therefore all the mistakes were made. #disasters #CampMystic

@ai6yr
This is the part that strikes me as criminal responsibility:
Camp Mystic appealed to remove buildings from FEMA's 100-year flood map, records show | PBS News share.google/DKM2TNQG87Y3YrqCl

@Ashmire @ai6yr also "As in previous years, the inspector assigned to Camp
Mystic" Far too easy to have a "same as last time" mindset and expectation. Auditors need to be randomised
