What I don't understand is why the Boeing executives are not on trial for the negligent killing of 189 + 157 people?

  Shouldn't then car industry executives be also to blame for negligent killing of the ones whose death was a result of a car failure related to planned obsolescence?

    Absolutely. If there is a direct link between wilful negligence and death, executives need to go to jail.

    They absolutely should. This is why in engineering there are safety factors built in and ethical considerations seriously taken when designing projects.

  Agreed. I think holding executives criminally liable for their company would change a -lot- in a good way. More hiring, increased wages, increased safety standards just to name a few. I know if I were liable and in charge, I'd only want the best of the best working for me. And if it's customer facing, I sure as hell am not hiring the kinds of people typically associated with minimum wage jobs. Then again, maybe paying those folks more would lead to better behavior, who is to say...

  The sad truth is that some people truly are above the law. Us normal people would go to jail. "They" will not.
