    No one fucked up, they finally settled on it being a mechanical failure.

    Edit: the company and government fucked up, I meant to imply none of the divers fucked up.

      The company fucked up by not updating their equipment, even though they knew it was outdated and dangerous

      “The North Sea Divers Alliance, formed by early North Sea divers and the relatives of those killed, continued to press for further investigation and, in February 2008, obtained a report that indicated the real cause was faulty equipment. Clare Lucas, daughter of Roy Lucas, said: “I would go so far as to say that the Norwegian Government murdered my father because they knew that they were diving with an unsafe decompression chamber.”[11] The families of the divers eventually received compensation for the damages from the Norwegian government, 26 years after the incident.[12]
