leaking pizza oven and the negligence

For Want of a Nail

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
For want of the shoe, the horse was lost;
For want of the horse, the rider was lost;
For want of the rider, the battle was lost;
For want of the battle, the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.


 This old poem comes to my mind when I read about the series of neglect  at the Hala istanbul restaurant.These neglects caused  the death of 11  and injured 35 about two months ago . It caused horror and panic to all residents living  here .
 There was a pizza oven under maintenance  -  there was a valve not closed . The gas company was not informed  and finally the gas tank at the top of the building was filled while the restaurant was closed .

Just a little common sense and attention paid to the work and it could have saved lives . Now four people charged with  negligence .
