Does it matter how they died if the outcome is the same, is the question I wish I would've posed earlier. One was due to drunk driving. The other two, I'm not privy to the full details. It could have been, but statistically I would suppose not; most are human error, I'd presume.
I'd further suppose that simply put, it's easier to stop 400 deaths due to a failure to regulate than it is to change the driving habits of citizens, and that's why --even if one is 100x worse-- it doesn't draw the attention, and it makes me feel like my loss doesn't matter, even though others are far more likely to experience the loss I did, rather than the main post subject, and I will admit that shaped my view entering the discussion.
- sumedh 6y ago> Does it matter how they died if the outcome is the same, That is like saying oranges and apples are the same because they are fruits. It matters how they died because the car victims died due human error not because the car was defective, the plane victims died because of the plane itself was defective. If the planes were not ground many more people who have died and people on ground if the plane fell on them. Would you drive in a car which is known to crash into walls?
