Maybe I've been ninjaed, but remember the ending to Fight Club?
blow up the buildings where the 'evil doers' did their 'evil stuff'. But what about the innocent employees in those buildings? And you see them crash onto the ground. What about the people underneath the buildings? Like, holy shit that's a lot of innocent lives lost. But it's for the greater good right?
Actually

During the bit in the basement car park where he's fighting with Tyler in front of the van filled with the explosives. He mentions about all the innocent people they will kill by blowing up the buildings. Tyler tells him that all the buildings have been evacuated by the security who are fight club members so they are all empty. Also we find out that the charges are placed at strategic points around the structure so that when they are detonated the buildings implode and fall in on them selves limiting the collateral damage greatly. Also this all happens late at night in a business district where there are not likely to be people just walking by.

Oh dear...I've seen that film far too many times me thinks...

*SNIP*
All henchmen employed by EvilErimne's Diabolically Evil Empire Inc. Are covered for accidental death by hero/heroin.
First of all, my apologies for what I am about to write.

So their insurance covers accidental overdose does it? It's heroine. With an "e".

Secondly, or I suppose third now, apologies for picking on you. 99% of the time it's someone spelling "Heroin" with an e, i.e. talking about people getting addicted to Joan of Arc, so you as the flip side stood out a bit.


OT: Yeah, movies and TV take liberties like that. If people acted like that IRL they'd be struck off the force or whatever and jailed pretty quickly and I imagine their seniors would be demoted for ever having hired such a dangerous nutcase in the first place.
Danm it typo, no unfortunately there not insured for overdose anymore...We had to take the drugs clause out after we lost half of the flying monkeys to Cristal Meth.

*sigh* They were good henchmen too...

Because they're good, so therefore nobody gives a damn. Apparently everyone in the world is fine with murder as long as the person doing it is nicer than the people he kills.
