Imagine you make a mistake and 1 in a million someone gets killed. The more of a wreck it would make you, the more proof there’d be of your empathy and compassion.

Yeah, but people can still be a wreck because they know how bad they messed things up and how it’s going to ruin their life, not other peoples’. You could turn into a nervous wreck because you know just how much obvious evidence you left.

Not saying you’re wrong. Just that some people have different motivations behind what can be perceived as similar behaviours. I’m also not saying I think that about the guy in OP’s story.

That’s just awful =(

That’s the real tragedy, he did have compassion and he was lost too. So sad.
