Something like that, yes.
If you'd ever spoken with, or rather listened to people who have seen overheads collapse in a prang, and rain down burning liquor on those below, maybe you'd think the same as I. I only had to hear one mans description of the event to become convinced.
The current status quo is purely about economics, and nothing to do with safety.
