"We do need to dwell on these things. We as engineers we learn from our mistakes. These kinds of mishaps are what brought us safe aviation." Absolutely not. Rush was an arrogant pr**k who ignored the lessons of decades of construction and materials science, then did it on the cheap because he thought the laws of physics wouldn't apply to him because he was a maverick. Any reputable engineer already KNEW the lessons that would have prevented this. I would no more trust him than I would trust Elon Musk. Their money makes them arrogant, and they leave a trail of blood behind them. Usually, they're smart enough not to endanger themselves. The loss of a couple of billionaires is no loss at all to the planet.
