You get fired for saying no. Unless the government backs up qualified people saying no, by protecting them from the companies wrath, then you won’t get anyone saying no.
Caveat that this is targeted towards US software environment, I’m under the belief that engineers designing roads and buildings are actually accredited and protected in this way in some countries

The people in the article said yes and also got fired.
Of course they did! That is exactly what managements plan was! You think the corrupt politicians that greenlit this thing are going to take the fall?
You think the people at the top weren’t aware this thing was unworkable?
But it took longer to get fired after saying yes, and they were paid the whole time.

It's even worse than merely being fired from the project though, they were suspended.
Nobody saw it coming, but it turned out to be a "suspension bridge" after all ;)
