You laugh.
One of the coolest books I've read was. . . Airframe by Crichton. He always mixes in a lot of fact and science into his fantasy books. Well he DID.
One of the major things that go on during an air crash investigation is the plane manufacturer admits pretty much as much fault as the evidence will allow - even if it's clearly not their fault. Better to take the blame than show up your airplane customers and have them NOT buy your planes next time because you made them look bad. Stupid, huh??
Well, airplane manf's pay off tons of $ to settle things - even when it isn't their fault. Because it's just cheaper in the long run.
As far as 9/11, there was so much $ donated that they couldn't give it out. You can't be a charity when you are making a select few people rich. And that's what happened.
Same with blood. 9/11 happens and everyone rushes to Red Cross. RC says, "STOP!" Everyone gets their panties in a bunch. RC uses blood for other uses - and in some cases destroys it. Public is PISSED. Well, they had multiple x's of blood than they needed. What else were they going to do with it. It was a big black eye on RC for just getting stuck with a pile of blood they didn't ask for and were forced to draw from a willing public.
