  • Investigation underway: A UPS cargo plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville, Kentucky, airport Tuesday, leaving a fiery trail of destruction and a half- mile-long debris field. At least 12 people have died and others are injured, officials say, warning the death toll could climb as the investigation continues.

  • Black boxes recovered: An NTSB investigation team is on site at the crash location and has recovered the aircraft's "black boxes" - the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.

I didn't get these companies that do shit maintenance. Is it really worth the loss of lives and a full on plane to not do the bare minimum?

[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

CEOs of giant corporations are sometimes actually sociopaths, so they don't care if they kill people. And they get financially rewarded only for short term profit, the company's long term future doesn't effect them at all, so they don't care if reducing maintenance causes problems for the company 10 years later

Read Almost a Psychopath by Silver and Shouten. There is neuroscience behind how CEOs behave.

I'm as anti CEO/billionaire as you, but people are also inherently lazy and selfish AF, and so negligence is possible at every level of this thing, except maybe the folks on board the plane. There's no point in levying out blame until there's actual information about what happened, rather than speculation.

Unfortunately, I am expecting the Trump Regime to falsify any investigation into this, if only to protect someone from the blame. Plus, DOGE probably cut down the size of agencies.

Hopefully I am wrong, but this year hasn't been a great one.

How about waiting until the NTSB's full report next year before making accusations? One thing I can say for sure, multiple things went wrong.
