What's really sad is you need the lawyers to let the public know something went wrong. If people had listened to the engineers (admittedly internal vs external communication are completely different) then we never would have had this problem in the first place.

Lawyers often profit from the misery of others (I know many lawyers that do great things and are proud of their work, but almost nobody gets into law because they "want to make the world a better place"), but sometimes that misery can prevent other's misery in the future.

Sadly the profits aren't in putting anyone in jail, but in civil suits. I would love to be wrong, but nobody is going to jail over this because nobody will profit from it.

Or Michael Scott.
