Someone asleep at the switch….

Read this in the Times-Colonist today:

"Flights at Victoria International Airport were grounded for much of Monday after the facility ran out of glycol de-icing fluid. The airport scrambled to bring in an emergency supply of 6,000 litres, allowing flights to resume in the evening.

The airport was prepared for rain and flurries, but not three days of almost-constant snow and freezing temperatures that required the de-icing of planes around the clock.

Enough de-icing fluid to usually last a season was completely used in 48 hours."

Now,  really,  how could this happen?  Didn't someone notice they were using more fluid than usual?   We follow the weather reports and this was all totally predicted.  Air travel is enough hassle with unforeseen problems let alone problems that are completely unnecessary.

Maybe the people responsible were too busy trying to find flowers for Victoria's annual flower count...
