Meaning what, that the janitors did not really die? That their deaths 
weren't a bad thing? That the American legal system's notions of 
compensation for wrongful death are fucked up has little if any 
bearing on who died. If there is any thought at all behind this 
paragraph of yours, it is ugly, ugly, ugly.
