I noticed that there's one guy on here that looks like the same thing happened to him as well but here are a couple of examples...

My car (Weak example):


A car for sale (Good example):


In my car, I could understand if neither airbag deployed, but just the passenger's side is ridiculous. The car I found for sale (pictured above) that appears to have the driver's airbag intact in another photo leads me to believe that if our cars do have driver's airbags, they just don't work.
mine went off when my 05 was totaled. I feel very confident about our car's safety features.
