The decisions of a few individuals can make momentous changes to a nation and even to the entire world, based on their individual actions. If you'd don't know your ethics- your values- you won't know what to do in an emergency situation where you have the control -- where you can make a real difference. This program motivates people and shows striking examples of what can happen when people do not know how they feel. It gives viewers ways to develop their personal ethics-their ethical standards. Personal Ethics explores the personal ethical mistakes at Chernobyl, at the Exxon Valdez disaster, by Gangsta Rappers, and uses their stories to help viewers understand their ethical values so that they can articulate them and use them when needed. The show is hosted by Meg Ryan, and made for children over the age of 12 and for adults as well. The program was funded the Center For Global Ethics.
Hazelwood left the bridge to a junior officer and helmsman - who then hurried to screw up epically.
@HUSKY57887 You are absolutely correct. It was his lack of understanding of his personal ethics that, in our view, allowed him to let something like this happen and to cause it to happen. We are asking young people to explore their ethics in advance so that they can rely on them when emergencies happen that can affect the whole world or at any other time.

The fact that the RADAR was inoperative for 1 year prior this disaster shows that there where no any chance to make position fixes, especially at night. Although, if the vessel was equipped with operational GPS which being given every minute position, then human error must be examined. Also, visual fixes of vessel's position is an alternative mean to monitor the ship's track over the ground. My opinion is that the root cause of accident is of many parameters : 1) RADAR INOPERATIVE 2) GPS FIXES 3) FATIGUE AFTER OPERATION 4)DEVIATION OFF TSS 5) ONE MAN ERROR
It isn't just the captain's fault... it's also documented that the ship's radar wasn't functional and that it would have steered the 3rd mate (who was at the wheel at the time) off of his course if it were functional (via the radar-reflector placed upon the reef). Not to mention the fact that all of the employees on that ship worked 12-14 hour shifts + overtime.. so the captain probably deserved his rest.
3:52 is hard to see the bird like that... really hard.. and with the much more demand things will be worse.... count on it
@breaguy I know what you are saying....I showed this video to my students and they were unclear as to why there was a few seconds clips of a boy doing karate in it. The video did not mention the karate kid but showed a boy doing karate. I showed this video as part of summer school where we are focusing on environmental issues. I just told them I wasn't sure why it was even in the video.
Personal ethics, responsibility, intoxication. Yeah, I'd say they're all important things to consider when millions of gallons of toxicitiy are in your hands.
@breaguy I do not understand your comment. I never said the karate kid had anything to do with my video.

@ShaolinFambo: what you say is correct, they or we (humans) shouldn't be doing oil drilling and extractions for our sake, for the sake of our planet and all species that live in it.
The top priority of the captain should be and most be, in his case the environment, not his crew or his ship; he was responsible for a tanker with oil, and knowns it's a hazardous material and leave it as its last priority, that's so wrong
traitor - I'd fire that captain. Many companies including his was negligent in the RESPONSE! Maritime Lawyer retired.
he didn't. 0 time.
