Description:
Two hundred and three people died in Ford Explorers when their Firestone Wilderness AT tires unexpectedly shredded on hot pavement and caused the luxurious trucks to flip over. Tragic Indifference tells the story of lawyer Tab Turner, who repeatedly took on -- and defeated -- one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the world and forced them to make a dramatic bedside apology to Donna Bailey, a quadriplegic whose injuries were the result of an Explorer rollover.
Expand description
After the shocking crash statistics came to the public's notice, Ford attempted to pin the blame on Firestone's faulty tires, until Firestone rebutted that Ford had forced them to produce a cheaper, more dangerous tire, suggesting that Ford ignored the advice of their own engineers. This is a comprehensive look at one of the most notorious corporate scandals of our time, a sweeping narrative that is a courtroom drama, history lesson, journalistic investigation, and tale of human triumph all in one.
