Ford calculated that it would cost less to pay for deaths than to fix the gas tanks.

And in that lawsuit, what they discovered was the company had done an internal calculation in which it did the math. What's it going to cost to actually fix all the gas tanks? What's that dollar number versus what's it going to cost to just pay out for those deaths every year for those people that we burn knowingly are going to die and burn to death in those cars? And the calculation was that it was going to cost less to pay out for the deaths.
