The engineers were the fall guys. An executive made the decision not an engineer. No different than when Lee Iacocca while at Ford saw the cost to replace the Pinto gas cap that could cause a fuel fire in an accident and decided it was cheaper to pay off the lawsuits and did not make the change. Ford did not replace the defective fuel caps for a full 8 years. When Iacocca went over to Chrysler we saw his approach to car making with terrible K cars.
Iacocca stated "safety does not sell" as though that excused his criminal conduct. He should have gone to jail but the people at the top never do.
Small peanuts though compared to lying about WMD's and causing the needless deaths of tens of thousands of men, women, and children, all for the sake of US oil companies' profits.
