I'm sure it would have been a lot more cost effective to have done due diligence before the catastrophic failures that cost the lives of so many.
I worked in the aircraft industry for 45 years and know Boeing well. With the Boeing culture up to the mid 90's, this would have never happened. But from the mid 90's to present, Boeing changed from an engineering company to a company run by accountants and analysts.

Once upon a time, all major companies had "Disaster Recovery" plans (DRP). Those got replaced by Business Continuity/Resumption Plans (BCP) which is a nicer term for the same thing, but boiled down to expensive word naggling that forced you to rewrite the entire working framework from scratch because of new paradigms (a word we all learned to hate). Nowadays, almost none of my customers have anything even similar to a BCP or DRP, and they think I'm trying to "strike it rich" by suggesting it to them. And the ones who have minimal versions never test them. I'm always available (by the hour of course) when disaster does strike, I guess.
