| dbo:abstract | The Cave Creek disaster occurred on 28 April 1995 when a scenic viewing platform in Paparoa National Park, New Zealand, collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 14 people. The victims, 13 of whom were Tai Poutini Polytechnic students, fell 40 metres (130 ft) onto rocks below. The tragedy resulted in wide criticism of the government and its policies towards funding and management of the conservation estate. Denis Marshall, New Zealand's Minister of Conservation, eventually resigned, after the Commission of Inquiry's report came out. It also resulted in major changes to procedures used by the New Zealand Department of Conservation after it was revealed that serious systemic failures had led to the building of the unstable platform. Eventual changes in New Zealand Law, following a change of government, allowed for government departments to be held criminally liable for inadequate building practices, in the same way as non-government organisations. (en) Die Cave-Creek-Katastrophe ereignete sich am 28. April 1995, als eine Aussichtsplattform im neuseeländischen Paparoa National Park aufgrund verschiedener Ursachen zusammenbrach. Auf der Plattform befanden sich 17 Menschen, die alle circa 30 Meter in einen Wasserlauf und auf die umliegenden Felsen stürzten. Aufgrund des Sturzes und der langen Zeitdauer, bevor Hilfe kam, starben 14 Menschen, nur drei überlebten den Unfall. Als Folge des Unfalls wurden ausführliche Untersuchungen vom Department of Conservation (DOC) eingeleitet, um die Wahrscheinlichkeit zu verringern, dass sich ein ähnliches Ereignis noch einmal zuträgt. Die Hauptursache ist bis heute umstritten, obwohl das Ergebnis eines Untersuchungsausschusses mehrere mögliche Ursachen aufdeckte. Niemand wurde für unmittelbar verantwortlich befunden. (de) |
