CEOs sniff their own abysmally stupid farts all the time. When trying to sell something, the first person you have to trick is yourself, but that does NOT indemnify them for harming others. Getting people killed because you are too stupid to understand basic risk concepts shouldn't be acceptable.

Power should come with responsibility and accountability ESPECIALLY if you are not responsible or accountable.

Is CEO a protected class now?
I'm not saying you owe CEOs better, but that you owe this community better if you're participating in it.
It seems like the CEO here did pay the ultimate price of responsibility and accountability.
There's gotta be a middle ground between doing whatever with no repercussions and literally dying by your own stupidity.
