The fact is that other vehicles did NOT explode in this way from rear-end hits, that there was a whole large group of these defective vehicles that did, and that the company was fully aware of the defect and had made a cold-hearted business calculation that it would cost more to solve the problem than to pay off the families of the dead and injured. I mean, they had a whole bunch of statistics and had calculated the relative costs. Are you saying that it is acceptable business behavior to decide that it would save money to knowingly let people burn to death, rather than pay a little more and fix the defect? I suspect that you are.
