Does "wasn't of a biblical scale" mean "wasn't made up"?

Griff, will you stop posting threads that set me up to make jokes about Christianity. I keep getting reported for abuse each time.
Gonna be looking for another new username soon I think.

The older Russel Crowe and Mel Gibson get the more they look alike. Maybe and Australian thang, or the pic in the article has Crowe yelling (Mel Gibson SmokingGun pics).

Apparently the air bags didn't go off due to a failure in the switch and 300 people died.
Now, question, is it mandatory for a manufacturer to fit air bags in their cars?
Did the air bags gong off kill the people or was it the fact they crashed, die to their own, or someone elses bad driving?
Can GM be held responsible for the death by failing to prevent it, rather than causing it? Of so, how many of the rest of us can be held responsible by failing to prevent a death? You see a guy jumping off a bridge, you fail to prevent him, are you now a murderer?
I don't see GM as being guilty of anything more than trade descriptions act, their goods didn't act as advertised. That's all.

In the US anyone can be held responsible for anything, even if they were not involved.

Seems that way.
Because if it isn't mandatory to fit airbags then they could remove them, and not be held responsible for 300 deaths. Of course many thousands would additionally die....

That is slander! I'm suing you for that. I'm also suing you for the time it takes me to sue you and so forth.

Unfortunately you could get a judge to take the suit. If I had any money, I would have to spend it to defend myself or you would automatically win.

I'm holding global warming responsible.

Yes. Since 1998 in the US[^] all new cars must have them. (In the UK that's also the case, and it is a vehicle test failure if the SRS indicators do not come on with the ignition then go off a few seconds later)

Yeah, I wondered if it had become law.
The fact remains though that they are not responsible for killing these 300, but for not saving them. And there is a big difference if you ask me between those two.

That's where lawyers love to tread (because it means so very, very many billable hours)!
Is it negligent to ship a faulty safety device? It's an argument I'm sure the lawyers will use. Certainly, if I change a wheel for you, forget to re-tighten the nuts, and the wheel falls off at speed as a result I'm liable for any damage it causes. So if a safety device doesn't work in an emergency then there is a pretty good argument that it's the manufacturers fault - particularly if it happens several times.

And even more particularly when they learn about it and don't fix it until forced to do so. Then, add to that, replacing the defective part with a new one of the same type.
Lawyers cause all sorts of mischief - yet, when you are the one that's been royally screwed with a splintery broom handle, it good to have a good lawyer.

The wheel is the cause of the accident though. The air bag isn't. That's the difference.

The airbag should have deployed as required by law and it didn't. It may have saved the lives lost and possibly reduced injury in other accidents. The point isn't how many people died, it's that the company knew a required feature didn't work and did nothing to fix it. That's what they'll be held liable for.
