The most interesting thing about this ABC Challenger long read (to me) is that the five engineers who warned it was unsafe then became "lepers".
Why is it not the managers who overruled them to suffer social ostracism?

It has always been the way for “whistle-blowers”. Organizations of any size don’t like to be called out.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause.
I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving.

BREAKING: Jack Smith Says Trump Caused January 6 And Knew Violence Was Coming
A major development just landed in Washington — and it likely incriminates Donald Trump in ways his allies have spent years trying to obscure.

Kyiv was hit with 500 drones and 40 missiles. Civilians died.
Trump’s response? Understanding Putin’s inconvenience.
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s a bromance—paid for in Ukrainian lives.

The Missiles Fall. The Bromance Endures.
As Russian drones and missiles tore into Kyiv, Donald Trump found time not for outrage—but for understanding Vladimir Putin.

People ask, “If the economy is growing, why doesn’t it feel like it?” Because our individual economic realities are driven less by the national average and more by the policy choices—tariffs, taxes, and cuts—that decide who actually gets the gains from growth.

They preach “life” and “Christian values,” then turn their backs on actual people.
This administration has made cruelty the norm, from children to trans folks to immigrants.
We deserve better than this.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?
