What if the power company was still really busy when the 911 call came in. They were told someone just died in the park due to a down power line. They ALREADY knew the line was down, but they also have 30 other downed lines in the county. And, those other 30 lines are feeding peoples homes and not a park.
By using the "customers-first" mentality, they should just ignore it and continue working on those other 30 lines. Then, when they have the free-time to work on the line in the park, they should do so. This is REGARDLESS of how many people die in the meantime.
Or, do you think there is a particular number of casualties that need to be met before this becomes a priority?
Anyone who tries to argue that the convenience of the majority is greater than the existence of a single person, has issues with: the sanctity of life, greed, and ego.
