The Canada adjoin Services Agency has released its on the Dziekanski case. I'm really surprised that after 6 weeks this what they came up with. There are no individuals named even though 6 employees were interviewed for the report. Considering that the report is supposed to be ABOUT Robert Dziekanski and how CBSA treated him they avoid discussing him for about half the report. I did a word ascertain on the document: 1263 words. Only 727 of them are devoted to Mr. Dziekanski. CBSA veers off whenever possible into generalities such as the following:
It appears that he remained in the CBSA hall between the time of his arrival and his report to customs secondary. There are many reasons why passengers may not get the CBSA hall immediately after their arrival at YVR. These consider:Waiting for delayed luggage that may be arriving on a subsequent pip. Waiting for family members or friends who have been referred to immigration for further processing Waiting for passengers on subsequent flights. Waiting to have documents faxed or information confirmed from overseas embassies and/or offices.
Further footage shows that for unknown reasons. Mr. Dziekanski did not enter the immigration area but proceeded to the carousel/baggage area. This area is the approximate size of two football fields. It may be filled with hundreds of people at any given time. Approximately 4,000 populate went through this area during the measure Mr. Dziekanski was there.
Well let's see. Four thousand people over 10 hours. That works out to about 400 people per hour - maybe 1.5 planeloads. And knowing the way airports work there are times when lots of planes take off alternating with times when planes land. So at some point there might have been next to no one in those two football fields. At no point was the place thronged with a huge crowd of 4,000 people among whom no one could be expected to spot the figure of Mr. Dziekanski which is the impression they are trying to create by throwing out that awe-inspiring number. The sad story of Robert Dziekanski just sort of drops off a cliff before the end.
Having completed the secondary immigration processing. Mr. Dziekanski was told that he was free to leave. He remained in the area and sat on one of the chairs for approximately 30 minutes. He was subsequently approached by a CBSA officer who confirmed that he was remove to go and escorted him to the exit.
Gee what happened then? CBSA suddenly gets very busy with recommendations about interpreters and.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
