2.  If this event had not been recorded on YouTube, would it have still been a crisis? Explain.

3.  What is the nature of the comments that accompany the YouTube video? Do you feel these comments are justified? Do you see any patterns in the comments?

4.  What is the nature of the blame that is being assigned in the videos and comments section? Is the organization being blamed? If so, is it justified? Is there another party involved that is to blame for the crisis? Explain.
