100. you are talking monetary liability
monetary liability over human life? Who would go to jail? Every damn individual within the corporation who knowingly caused the damage and attempted to cover it up. Ya know when I'm telling a story about contaminating a community's water or the auto industry deciding to knowingly sell vehicles they knew were defective-these are from real cases. When a board decided that they'd make more profit by releasing a defective product to the public--that the liability of killing someone would be less than fixing the damage--is premeditated murder--the board knew people were going to die, they just didn't know who or how many. The whole damn board who made the decision should be tried for murder.

Again, a corporation as an entity (it is not a person) has less liability and less responsibility than you or me; however, some of them have committed large scale damage to people and communities.
