Cutty Sark fire was an accident

The Cutty Sark blaze was caused by a industrial vacuum cleaner which had been left on.

The vacuum cleaner was being used to remove waste from the ship as part of a renovation work.

Investigators said it had been left running throughout the weekend before the fire broke out in the early hours of Monday 21 May, 2007.
The guy that left the darn thing on must feel like a complete idiot.

It's a pity the employees weren't adequately insured for negligence.

For this, Polly the Parrot gets one of his eyes. If he does ANYTHING wrong again, he'll WALK THE PLANK.
