9/11 as a corporate philosophy

From a Fortune magazine article on the culture of Korean electronic giant Samsung:

The VIP Center—which stands for Value Innovation Program, not Very Important Person—is definitely a guy’s kind of hangout. The hospital-drab walls are decorated mainly by flow charts, timelines of technological achievement, and above every urinal in the men’s room, a picture of a jet exploding into the side of the World Trade Center in New York City. (The Korean text over the pictures warns of the importance of maintaining top security and reminds the viewer that disaster can strike out of the blue.)
Subtle.
