It's really tragic. If only they'd seen how much of a blunder this would be before lives were lost. But it's hard to get a big picture view until after the fact, when it involves so many people. I think perhaps Southwest was the closest to having a big picture view, as they ordered additional equipment [1]. I wish they somehow blew the whistle on it.

Or, at the very minimum grounded that damn death trap volountarily after the Lion Air crash. The first crash can be attributed to greed, short cuts, engineering blunders and immense pressure to rush the plane into production. The second crash is corporate mass murder.
