An Air Canada jet carrying 76 people touched down and slammed into a fire truck on a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night, killing its two pilots and injuring many more.
Oh right, the passengers as well. And those guys in the truck too. Also, any onlookers who may have been scarred by the sight. I hope I didn’t forget anyone.
Even there, it’s the federal government. They make the money, and basically pay for things by typing in whatever number they need. Nobody in Washington will even track it except maybe for photo ops.
Again, it’s not about making the money, it’s about taking the money. And to state the obvious, money does not equal human life here. It is a punishment and spare me the “if your rich that’s just the cost of doing business” drone.
They’re not just rich, though, they literally define money. They might as well sue for brownie points, unless it’s enough to actually alter the macroeconomic balance of the country.
No it will fucking not. What it will do is put a dollar value on human lives so that future actuaries and BigBalls types can figure out just how much death is economical.
Everyone knee jerks to lawsuits following a tragedy in the US.
A: make sure they will not suffer financially due to losing a family member (and it has to be much higher than their relative would earn in his or her lifetime)
B: make the idiots that allowed this suffer financially. They do not care about human life. They only care about money. They need to be hit where it hurts.
R.I.P. to those pilots and all the best to their families, and hopefully a huge international lawsuit.
Also all the best to the passengers on the plane who survived and will have some trauma to deal with.

And the ATC controller. Who has to live with a mistake that cost two lives.
Hopefully his union can provide some counseling services. We know his employer won’t do anything useful - they’re the reason he was on shift alone.
Yes, because money will bring back these people to their families.
That’s exactly what I meant. Good insight. /s
No, but it may prevent loosing more

this cunt is already long gone…
Who, the federal aircraft controllers?
No, their bosses.
The federal government?
Like I said to someone else, losing money doesn’t hurt them, because money is a concept they make up and define.
