Safercar.gov Overwhelmed By Recall For Deadly Airbags
darylb writes "The NHTSA's safercar.gov website appears to be suffering under the load of recent vehicle recalls, including the latest recall of some 4.7 million vehicles using airbags made by Takata. Searching recalls by VIN is non-responsive at present. Searching by year, make, and model hangs after selecting the year. What can sites serving an important public function do to ensure they stay running during periods of unexpected load?" More on the airbag recall from The New York Times and the Detroit Free Press.

Takata, remember when it used to be about the CRAFTMANSHIP, man? Back in the early days, you used to make airbags because you had a PASSION for it. Then the money came, and the drugs, and the women. Pretty soon, it's like you didn't even care anymore about the quality of the airbags. You were just living for the next party, the next line of coke, the next paycheck. The work suffered, man. And you chased off everyone in your life who really cared about airbag engineering and manufacturing. You just pushed them right aside, didn't you? And so now comes the crash.
It's time to rethink things.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
