Can you explain how, from the passengers' point of view, it matters whether they die because the head came off or because the transmission seized due to running out of oil (due to a known issue that wasn't addressed appropriately by the manufacturer)?
The main difference I my opinion? One event happened in Europe, the other happened too far away for anyone in Europe to care much. We are still very tribal!
