That was my gut instinct as well prior to reading the article, but with many of the cases discussed I can see why there isn't criminal negligence involved. For some, there was no indifference for human life or safety - it was freak occurrence, and juries have acted correspondingly. When there have been histories or patterns that show neglect or indifference, that's a different thing but that's not what this article is focused on. And when the article discusses how memory and routine work, well - I can't say I've never forgotten something because it was just a little deviation in my routine.
Yes, causing harm to another through negligence is a crime.
