  Nothing always ends up well every time, it's about making the balances and allocating resources where they best serve. This is the perpetual policy problem around things like OSHA and other regulatory bodies. One question might be if the airlines should be able to inspect their own equipment, or be required to pay the government to do the inspections, instead. Way more planes have fallen out of the sky due to bad airline maintenance/inspections than have crashed because of Boeing stupidity.

  It would be virtually impossible to fully review every construction drawing for accuracy, there are just too many of them. Nothing would ever get built. Most jurisdictions will do plan review, but it’s not a thorough check of the engineering. I would assume structural drawing sets are checked a bit more closely than say, the interior architectural drawing set, but mistakes still happen. Plus, whoever was the PE of record on the structural drawings for the hard rock parking ramp will never sign another set, they’re done as an engineer, possibly they’ll see prison if they were negligent. That won’t bring any peace to the victims families, but it’s something.
