Comment Stockton was just insane (Score 2) 100
Just watched this last night.
It's just insane to me that their design was failing every single test, including the real-time audio monitoring system that was listening for pops, and yet Stockton pushed ahead anyway. Like, dude, why waste money running tests if you're going to ignore the results? There are faster and cheaper ways to get yourself killed.
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who chose to walk away, and by the first pilot's willingness to burn his own money to fight Stockton in court. Sadly he ran out of money and had to drop his complaints. Such is the state of litigation in our country.
Stockton just couldn't accept a reality in which his business had failed... so he continued as if it hadn't. Fire the nay-sayers, do whatever it takes to keep the company looking strong.
