Quick, prepare the wrist-slapping fines!

TorJansson ,

Much too harsh for this gold-domed “too important to really hold to account” CEO. Perhaps a mildly stern, yet askance look (or two, if the crowd rumbles for more)

Aceticon ,

The total energy of the strong finger wagging that follows this admission will be enough to power a flashlight for 2 milliseconds.

United States Senate be like pull those sleeves up slightly, bad boy!

barsquid ,

David Calhoun apologized to the families of Boeing crash victims, saying the manufacturer was “totally committed” to future saftey improvements, as he began testimony at the committee on Tuesday.

Cue South Park investment banker BP oil spill apology.

Also, “saftey”? Seriously, Independent?

Welt ,

That’s the… first… thing… that’s… ever gone wrong.

I_Has_A_Hat ,

Do you mean South Park’s BP apology? The investment banker is the “…and it’s gone!” thing.

I did mean the BP apology, good catch.

Fine the CEO, not to the company. He has to take responsibility.

When poor people put others in danger and/or exploit things for financial benefit, they go to prison.

Stop giving fines for big companies and actually start putting people in fucking prison.

Feliskatos ,

Government can’t be too hard on Boeing, critical space and defense programs are at risk. I wish it was sarcasm.

In my opinion, the US federal government can/should be able take over Boeing temporarily in cases of felony or federal offenses perpetrated by executive personnel for the duration of the criminal investigation and trial.

Aux ,

Don’t be poor, problem solved!

TropicalDingdong ,

Fine? Arrest and jail.

Fine the company. Take the capital (which will have to serve the community), fine and jail the executives!

Companies are as accountable as the executives.

Blackmist ,

We know, they’re fucking dead.

People have died due to the greed and corruption of the leadership of Boeing. The people at the top have in fact gotten huge financial rewards by taking actions that were likely to kill people. There is no mechanism in US society to hold these people accountable. Are they going to get put in prison? Nope! Are they going to be PERSONALLY fined? Nope!

I really dislike how in Chinese society people are not able to criticize the government. I hope one day, everyone everywhere will have free speech. It’s unfortunate to say this, but in China, this would be dealt with severely and and with impact. I am not saying their mechanism is right, but the US has no mechanism at all. We all know nothing will happen, especially because most of the deaths were foreigners. It’s disgusting and makes the US look bad.

This is why ancient humans invented mob justice. When the laws don’t work, order still needs to be imposed.

Kyrgizion ,

Exactly this. In ancient Roman times, emperor Caracalla was infamous for having many of his enemies outright killed. One of these was the brother of a soldier who was assigned to his personal guard at the Rhine border regions. When Caracalla got off his horse for a piss, he got a gladius thrusted between his ribs. For all his might and power, he very much brought that on himself.

Sometimes people like that soldier are the last line of justice in the world.
