At this point everyone knows this man was incompetent in every aspect. Do we really need to read about it once again? People died, that's sad but they were fully aware of the risks. Let's move on.
I think I can get behind a few more days of this if it sears into any other rich, incompetent asshole’s brain out there a fear that their legacy will be as a laughingstock, not a genius engineering disruptor, if they ignore safety regulations.
I doubt other rich read such things anyway. They already heard it, probably giggled that he really was that stupid and moved on.
"It would never happen to me. I'm one of the smart ones." Said everyone that would eventually have it happen to them. God damn people that dont wear their seatbelts.
Were they fully aware, though? Sure the ceo was, but if I buy a trip on an airplane I assume the proper maintenance has been carried out. I know it’s not exactly the same, but there’s no way everyone on that sub had the knowledge or expertise to fully know just how not safe the experience really was.
