No sympathy at all for anyone who disregards safety protocol.

If they were told to fasten their seatbelts and they didn't, then it is nobody's fault except their own. Secondly, someone who ignores the fasten seatbelt alert has the potential to do injury to someone else sitting down.
No sympathy at all for anyone who disregards safety protocol.

If someone chooses not to fasten their seatbelt on a plane, they have the potential to cause serious harm to others, thus I have no sympathy for anyone who chooses to take liberties with other people's safety.

dsquared37 I know that the article didn't say how many people didn't have seatbelts, I was just pointing out that if they didn't have them on, they deserve no sympathy and shouldn't take liberties with other peoples safety.
One should never assume that other people care about what happens to them.

Bit of a stretch

There will be massive investigation into this with thousands of hours invested by the airline aircraft maker FAA and other bodies not to mention all the interested parties. So yes my friend people do care.

You will find that regulators do care and will blame it is the way it works and the insurance companies carry on.

I was referring to the earlier post about showing sympathy to people who ignore instructions from the crew. Of course regulators and insurance companies care.
