The Herald of Free Enterprise capsized on March 6, 1987, killing ~200 people. It sank because its inner and outer bow doors had been left open on sailing due to a combination of factors and decisions. The subsequent investigation found that all of these could have been avoided or ameliorated. Management failures set up a culture that compromised safety and allowed individual human errors to occur. The disaster could have been avoided if management had addressed safety in a more informed and committed way.
