The place we split ways on that is how much ‘preventable’ matters.

I wholly agree that current technology makes this kinda mistake preventable.

It also seems like potentially criminal greed and malfeasance were tied to the mistake actually happening. There’s not technology to prevent companies from cutting corners, so we need to know the repair technology is solid.

/yer right tho, I didn’t fully parse your other post there… Gimme a break I just woke up!


I don’t think there is enough for a criminal case here, but just a case for financial responsibility for insufficient risk prevention, the sort of thing that has been lacking in American business in light of all the bailouts going on lately.
