When it comes to needless deaths I'll take govt over corporations anytime.....How dare you talk about the Challenger disaster as being a coverup and govt fiasco..........the "o" ring problem was immediately changed when found to be the problem.....It was a national disaster that affected people I know personally because my friend lost his sister on the flight and he saw it happen right in front of his eyes.............You're retort has too many leaks to float.

If you think any GOVT agencies aren't culpable in any deaths just remember the Challenger Disaster, launched by a govt agency. Also, you are well aware of the deaths that government mandated airbags have caused, even after they were warned of the potential risk. Govt agencies are culpable and are subject to lawsuits. Any idea who built the Challenger space craft. Hint: Not the govt. Also how about culpability in mass deaths, by big corporations like.. Bridgestone/Firestone Ford TWA USAir Alaska Air Exxon (Darn!! I almost forgot that one) Union Carbide (A spill in India, killed about 4000 people and caused permanent damages to tens of thousands. Did not follow any safety procedures. US based CEO still not willing to face a fair Indian judicial system and is a fugitive) As you can see, the list can be endless. OTOH, FAA has done a tremendous job in bringing Airlines and Boeing into safety compliant processes.
