It's not the syntax, it's the logic. the a element is not a sibling of
the td element, it's a child. findNextSibling is going to return the
next td, assuming there is one. Trying to index
incident.findNextSibling in the next line is also broken. That's a
method, not an indexable object. So that line will also break.
