It is heartbreaking because that mindset never seems to go away. People treat a &quot;tiny percentage&quot; like an acceptable gamble until that fraction of a percent actually happens, and suddenly lives are ruined.

Please tell your husband that his frustration is proof he’s doing the right thing. It must be exhausting to constantly be the voice of caution in the room, but the quiet pushback from people like him is literally what keeps disasters from happening. When safety works, nobody notices and that makes it a thankless job, but an incredibly vital one.]]></description>

Thank you, That meeting really is one of the most heartbreaking parts of the whole story it&#039;s wild how different things look when you see what happened behind closed doors. That’s amazing that you’re close enough to watch the launches now, too. Thanks so much for tuning in.]]></description>

Thank you Cindy. It really was a heartbreaking situation to cover, but Ritish and I just wanted to make sure everyone got the real, honest facts as everything unfolded. We truly appreciate your support and kind words.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This one made me cry. How pressure to get things done killed people :( 
My husband works in safety, mainly on software for wind turbines but also oil rigs, huge batteries and stuff like that, and the amount of times he gets so frustrated by people trying to push things through because the chance of something going wrong is too small a percentage. So things haven&#039;t really changed :(]]></description>
