remember the ford explorer rollover scandal in which Ford execs ordered tire companies to manufacture a tire that would induce rollovers - only one company complained namely Firestone

where is Nasser now?

The Ford Explorer was first offered for sale in March 1990. Ford internal documents show the company engineers recommended changes to the vehicle design after it rolled over in company tests prior to introduction, but other than a few minor changes, the suspension and track width were not changed. Instead, Ford, which sets the specifications for the manufacture of its tires, decided to remove air from the tires, lowering the recommended pressure to 26 psi. Low air pressure leads to increased heat; heat can damage the tire. Firestone produced a tire that lead to high heat, tread loss and ultimately death for the occupants.
