Hi,
“I cannot imagine that something like that took place ever again,” –was said while dealing with а wrong decision. IMHO, it could be either, “I cannot imagine that something like that takes place ever again" OR: “"I cannot imagine that something like that took place.”

What do you think?

I cannot imagine that something like that will take place ever again.
