"Safety regulations are written in blood."

But in this case, some... not regulations, exactly, because I don't think there's government rules that apply that far out to sea, but some requirements for certification were ignored. Publicly and openly ignored.

The point of safety regulations is that the blood only happens once. In this case, the blood happened more than once, because even the existing rules were ignored.
