They're still dead. Life still dealt me a shitty hand. Looking for justice in a fucked up situation is idiocy.
Even the original comparison to the captain sinking with his ship is stupid. Yes, a captain should be the last to leave his ship. He has passengers and crew, who are ultimately in his care. Their welfare is his responsibility. If he gets them all off a sinking ship, why should he still go down with it?
The shit you people carry on with...
Edit: And I'm not your fucking Son, please don't refer to me as such
Are you really this moronic? Did someone say a ship captain should go down with his ship if ALL passengers are off? I don't think so.
In yesterday's case, I prefaced after having more knowledge of the circumstances, that I thought the crew had done everything they could at the time. The crew, as you can imagine, feels tons of guilt. Ultimately, they're responsible for their aircraft and who it injures/kills.
In the San Diego instance, if you read the report, you'll see there were tons of errors, and 4 people didn't need to die. The pilot was a TRAINEE, with no experienced pilot with him (like yesterday).
By the way, SON is an integral part of that movie quote. I hope you get over it.
