Wow. If you have any interest in #engineering or #AncientRome this article will fascinate you as it did me! The Romans were f*cking geniuses. Sorry, no better way to describe it.

When #corporate greed undermines #engineering culture, disasters happen. At Boeing it literally happened two times with passenger aircraft #boeing 737 MAX killing hundreds. Senior management was only interested in stock prices - those criminals cut costs in engineering, quality assurance and training. Yet instead of jail time CEO Dennis Muilenburg walks away with $62.2m in stock and pension awards. He is back in #aviation industry now. This is outrageous. :netflix: #documentary "Downfall"
