Ocean Ranger sinking blamed on management failings
U S investigators say the loss of the oil rig Ocean Ranger off Newfoundland and its crew stemmed from management failures and inadequate rescue equipment. The National Transportation Safety Board found the primary cause to be flooding of forward chain lockers after a night of multiple accidents. A panel reviewed a confidential staff report and drafted safety recommendations as part of the inquiry.

It faulted Defence Minister Karon for not preventing the disaster and noted Begin Shamir and Mossad head shared responsibility but stopped short of urging dismissal.
