Let's see, the "downplaying danger of poor safety precautions" one is pretty real-life. The cowardice is so/so, since many real life high executives leave their employees in the lurch whenever there's financial or legal danger, but might not respond the same way to physical danger. The coincidentally karmic death? Very uncommon.
