Prison serves the purpose of deterrence, while the fine serves the purpose of compensation. Some amount of forgiveness is actually better for everyone, but that doesn't excuse the responsibility for restitution.
That's insane.
Destruction of $700m property due to negligence certainly seems jailworthy to me. At the very least, this company should be paying a fine which actually recovers the damages.
