Rather than worry about further price gouging, the Industry needs to desperately be regulated with matching colored multi-passenger Cars of an identical model type maintained to a certain standard … with Meters.

The damage done from the dragging Anchors of all the Cruise Ships that threw anchor within our territorial waters for “free” during the Pandemic caused extreme damage to our Reefs that took hundreds, if not thousands, of years to develop … and for which we received $0.00 compensation!

Ban the Cruise Ships and Wealthy Tourists and 2nd Home Owners with “real” money will flock here to enjoy our natural beauty and more “exclusiv” low density tourism.

Simple Question deserving of simple Answer … hopefully not another “wall of Silence” similar to Sandals Tragedy … as hard for the Country’s Global Reputation to take much more,

Whilst this side tracked debate is somewhat entertaining on a rainy holiday, myself and at least a few others would like to know a bit more about the background and in turn, what caused this tragic “accident”, as it certainly was not intentional, but perhaps preventable. Let us start with the following “basic” Questions:

1. Did the Pilot own the Plane?
2. If not, on what basis did he have permission to operate?
3. Was the Pilot licensed to operate this type of Aircraft?
4. Was the Plane licensed for charter?
5. Unlike in Nassau, is it true weather was not a factor at Deadman’s Cay?
6. Did the Plane run out of fuel (no evidence of fuel igniting from Photos)?
7. If not, given Twin Engine Aircraft, why did both Engines apparently fail?
8. What does Pilot say occurred?
9. Does such an Aircraft have an “infamous” Black Box?
10. Given lack of Security at Deadman’s Cay Airport, could Plane have been sabotaged?

According to Flight Tracker this Aircraft was purchased on 24th March (just over 2 months ago) by one Mohammadi Roya and spent last week flying back and forth to Deadman’s Cay. Maybe this basic and readily available public info. will assist in some proper investigative reporting?!?

This has got to be perhaps the most “insane” Foreign Policy Decision in 50 years of Independence … Lord help us🙏

What am I missing … those that can afford a Private Plane can not afford (or don't want) to pay a $50 Entry Fee?!?

Dare I say I “don’t want to” pay my $2 PI Bridge Toll, but I pay it!

I wonder if this approach will work next time I take the Florida Turnpike?!?

At the outset of this awful news, it would have been far fetched to wonder if Sandals could survive this unfortunate tragedy, as at the end of the day, accidents happen, including ones caused by negligence resulting in death, but after 3 weeks of no answers forthcoming or evasive statements “at best” … I am not so sure, as both trust and credibility are lost making the idea of the Brand’s signature vacation pitch based on “romance” hard to resurrect if a couple renewing their vows can end up both dead at an “all inclusive” Resort without timely explanation.

The PR disaster continues … clearly neither Sandals nor our Government have engaged any form of Crisis Management resulting in much regrettably speculation of “cover up” threatening not just Sandals’ reputation as a “safe and responsible” Resort Group, but also our Country as a “safe and responsible” Tourist Destination.

Bottom line is these unfortunate Visitors died “on property” at an “all inclusive” Resort that should have been immediately “closed” by the Ministry of Health until “conclusive” Answers as to what occurred have been determined.

Now both a Legal and PR Disaster … obvious negligence given the facts speak for themselves … followed by inexcusable delay in confirming what was suspected immediately upon discovery of dead bodies … made only worse by not immediately shutting down Resort for health reasons pending outcome of investigation … indeed, lucky there are not more dead given continued business as usual operation of Resort.
