It may of saved many more lives then it cost. Kind of like the bad rap nuclear weapons get. If they were never invented, at least a million plus would have perished in the land invasion of Japan and who knows how many since then in huge conventional wars between the U.S. and USSR.



The safer Regional industry is a small solace the families of the passengers in the crash can take. Their lobbying efforts did a lot of good.
