title = "A preliminary analysis of the 'News Divine' incident",
abstract = "The paper presents some preliminary results of the analysis of the 'News Divine' stampede incident that occurred on 20th June 2008, Mexico City. The stampede occurred when the police raid a packed nightclub to check reports that drugs and alcohol were being sold to the underage. The approach has been the application of the MORT (Management Over-sight Risk Three) technique. The MORT is intended to look at various organizations failures that have led to the incident. The MORT technique may be regarded as a structured checklist in the form of a complex 'fault tree' model that is intended to ensure that all aspects of an organization's management are looked into when assessing the possible causes of an incident. Some preliminary results of the analysis of what happened during the event are reported. More work is needed in order to identify the 'management elements' on the why-branch of the MORT tree that contributed to the particular problems identified in the present analysis. It is hoped that by conducting such analysis lessons can be learnt so that incidents such as the case of the 'News Divine' can be prevented in the future.",
