Reply to Boeing Argues That 737 MAX Crash Victims Didn't Suffer by DiamondPittcairn

Boeing has argued that this is speculative, and that damages shouldn’t be awarded for “pre-impact fright and terror.” An expert in human factors and aerospace physiology hired by Boeing countered the above by arguing the following:

“While passengers undoubtedly perceived the flight as scary, humans have a tendency to hold on to hope and not expect the worst. Ultimately, it is impossible to know the subjective experience of each occupant.”

Let's split the difference. We'll say half held onto hope and half were expecting certain death. So if you owe 100 billion for the pain, cut in half they owe 50 billion.

You just have to choose the correct starting number so that when it's cut in half it is still the correct punitive number.

"Silicon Valley Bank Would Have Passed The Liquidity Coverage Ratio Requirement" March 14, 2023 (Bank Policy Institute)

The failure of SVB appears to reflect primarily a failure of management and supervision rather than regulation.
