After all, it was just a more developed windshield.
He lost his money, his job, his wife, his family, he even had a mental brekdown...
At the end he got a lot of money from Ford, but that was after almost 20 years of pure torture¡¡¡¡¡
Hmmm...the guy has balls.
However, I can't fathom losing my wife over something like this...
Fortunately there are people like that because otherwise the big guys would take advantage of people much, much more. Many people would consider him the better person, not his wife.
The movie Kill the Messenger was about investigator reporter Gary Webb who claimed that the CIA was involved with Contra rebels in Nicaragua to fund operations using sales of Cocaine. He was harassed and intimidated by the American government, or at least the CIA. He also suffered for many years but if not for him our government might be abusing their authority much more.
The tobacco industry initially insisted that smoking is not a health risk. CBS and Sixty Minutes exposed them and got harassed by them.
I can't think of any more David and Goliath types of stories but there are many others. People admire heroes that fight oppression and things like that.
Oh, now I remember another one. There was a (Soccer?) coach and the team was accused of rape. It was a totally fabricated accusation but the coach got fired. He went to work for another college and is happy. The point is that he stuck by his principals instead of giving in. Many people admire people for doing that.
