- TylerE 14y agoKey difference: If a drug is found to be dangerous 10 years down the line, all the people who took it have had exposure to whatever risk, long term effects, etc. If an airliner gets grounded, people who have already flown on it aren't retroactively at risk, so the worst case (other than the one that actually crashes, of course...) is that some airlines have some very large, very expensive, paperweights.
