The rest is between them and the company. None of my business.
Using your logic then I have never messed up because I have always landed safely. If our only benchmarks for success are making sure no one is killed and no metal is bent then this job would be a heck of a lot more fun but also much more dangerous.
You seem to take this personally. Just because those are you coworkers does not mean you need to wear rose-colored glasses. We learn from mistakes whether a stranger, our best friend, or even ourselves make them.
