Incredible post from the best writer on Boeing that we've got. The level of willful negligence from executives on something that carries human beings through the sky is astonishing and should be a crime. Sorry I forgot to make a joke. prospect.org/infrastructu...

What's insane is that air travel is as safe as it is because airlines take safety seriously. It took decades to build such a reputation. And apparently, Boeing decided to save a penny or two and throw out years of experience.

This is why I think it's a mistake (on many levels) to punish a corporation itself instead of holding the board who makes such decisions accountable. They deliberately choose to endanger lives and the worse they'll likely face is retiring slightly less rich.
