Thinking along similar lines, I note also that the deaths caused by Boeing were not in the US and (vast majority) not US citizens.

BP (via US subcontractors) killed 11 on DeepWater Horizon, fine was quite a bit larger (along with criminal convictions as well I think) - but that was US nationals in US waters. In both cases, civil and compensation settlements will dwarf the fines of course (and this Boeing settlement doesn't appear to close off criminal prosecutions of individuals).
