Well, the CEO of the company, who was the one really pushing hard on the "regulations stifle innovation" mantra, is among the dead. So he ended up paying more than the law would have made him.
I'll give him this, there are a lot of CEOs that skimp out and keep death traps in operation despite the risk. But most of those CEOs would be smart enough to avoid those death traps and pay other people far too little to take the risk for them.
At least this man believed in his death trap enough to step inside and die in it instead of giving legal-approved platitudes from his summer mansion.
