Now they want us to believe it’s safe, and they did literally nothing to inspect all the planes to make sure they actually were, it seems like the grounding was just a formality to please the general public, i can guarantee that they are gonna sweep under the rug even loosely fitted engines and make the excuse ‘but we weren’t going to fly it through the pacific’

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Woman on Plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Woman on Plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.
