Human Impact Trumps Business Impact

You may have heard about the fire at a Foxconn plant today. What I was happy to see is how the report over on Reuters addressed the issue:

No casualties or impact on operations from fire - spokesman

My first concern was the impact to those individuals on site, not if production was negatively impacted. As you can see from the quote, Reuters’ first sentence answered that question, and then continued on with the business details. It makes me happy that this was the first question they answered, not how production was impacted.
