Just another example as to why Dante put lawyers on the lowest circle of the infernal regions…and is the same profession that is drawn to politics. Any wonder why we’re in the shape we are in?
I can not even imagine, in my worst nightmare, what it would have been like to be strapped into a seat on one of those flights, knowing viscerally that my life was reaching its end. It comes to us soon enough…but watching it unfold because of a known issue (not that we’d have known…but there was some faceless someone who did) makes it even more terrifying.
It’s the same cold-hearted ‘stockholder return on investment’ mentality that let Ford justify continuing to produce the Pinto because the cost of redesign etc. was more than the potential lawsuit payouts from barbecued drivers when the gas tank would explode.
Just plain despicable and beneath contempt.
