I'd also say irrespective of whether or not he designed, built or engineered any of the cars he is still accountable for what happens with those cars.

The person on top is accountable for it all. It may not be his fault someone could be sloppy in their work and he is still accountable for it.

The managers who let things slide, the CEO is accountable. If these managers hired people not up to the task, the manager is responsible & accountable for those staff and the CEO is responsible and accountable for anything the managers & staff do.

If I as a CEO had an accountant not paying the right taxes, the accountant may be at fault and lose his job but it's still my responsibility and accountability those taxes are paid.

There is no world where CEO isn't accountable for the actions of the company. (In theory...)

Unfortunately we live in a world where the CEO's often have no consequences for the actions of their companies and the existing laws and structures to hold them to account are insufficient.

Sometimes a picture says it all...

7.1 in 2010 6.2 in 2011

Interesting tidbit: The 2011 earthquake had a lower magnitude however it had 3x the wave frequency than the 2010 which made it feel much more violent.

The first one was west of Christchurch, the second was south. Different direction of the waves brought many of the already weakened buildings down.

Where I was staying was on the hill of the epicenter of the second earthquake. Couldn't stay from fear a boulder would roll through the house during an aftershock. I remember after every aftershock running outside to make sure nothing was coming our way.

The 2011 earthquake was not long before the Japan earthquake.

I flew into Christchurch the night before the 2011 earthquake, couldn't do anything from all the damage. Flew to Indonesia. In Indonesia woke up to the rumble of a 6+ mag earthquake off the coast of Bali and ran out of the house...

That's when Japan was already having 7+ magnitude earthquakes. The next day was the 9 magnitude earthquake in Japan.

Incredible experience.

They were waiting for you to finish.

I'm glad someone has a solution.

Sofa, so good.
