>Be careful with criminal prosecutions. I understand the desire for revenge, but criminal liability will cause everyone involved to be silent about issues, cover them up, be uncooperative, and not fix them. (Because to fix them means to admit criminal liability.) To make systems safe requires a "no fault" culture.
It's not about revenge but deterrance.
Top level executives never face any consequences of their actions, except they might receive only a container-load of money instead of a boat-load.
So why shouldn't they take risks with society and other peoples lives, they know they'll be well of if it goes good or bad.
Also, would you apply the same logic to someone who conspired to burgle your home or assault your kids?
