Perhaps. Or perhaps not. It largely depends on what triggers the
launch escape system. It's impossible to sense and react to every
possible failure. If you make it too sensitive, you risk a false
triggering of the system, which would be a disaster in itself.

In the case of this accident, it's questionable if human triggering
would have been fast enough to save the crew.

Bank managers get fired following robberies all the time. Perhaps if you got off your ass and saw sunlight time to time you wouldn't post crazy **** and rant about it.


The article itself is behind a paywall, but reading the comments it is
quickly obvious that this particular manager whipped out a gun and
started shooting, endangering pretty much everyone in the bank. THAT
is why he was fired, you ignorant ****. Perhaps if you learned to
read polysyllabic English you wouldn't take such moronic positions.

You've made a claim. Presumably you can point to all sorts of news
stories where bank managers were fired after a robbery JUST BECAUSE
THEY WERE BANK MANAGERS and without egregiously insane behavior like
spraying bullets around.


How can anyone talk with a liar like you that makes **** up after lamely saying they didn't read the article?


Apparently you cannot read English. Have someone read what I wrote to
you and explain it in words of one syllable so that perhaps you'll get
it.

Elon Musk doesn't think it's questionable and I would think he would
know.
