A more serious failing, in my opinion, is that this chap was showing warning signs and no one noticed. Supervisor? Regular mental health check? Friends and colleagues?

We Americans don't do anything ahead of time. Do something about global warming? Nah. Maintain or replace old bridges, power grids, etc.? No way, that would cost too much. Develop really effective air travel safety policies on Sept 10, 2001? That would inconvenience travellers, cost to much, and besides, we'll just invade anybody who would dare attack us (what, that would cost more?).

No, we're reactionary here in the US of A.
