personally I don't think they deserve jail time, but there does seem to be a hint there that this isn't just about failing to predict an earthquake, a govt official not being able to weezal out of blame makes me wonder if these guys got roped into a situation they should never of been in, the REAL reality of all this risk management crap that we endlessly get drilled with has nothing to do with making the world a safer place imo , its about aportioning blame away from were responsibility really lies ... in this case local govt ..town planners ,, disaster management .. etc..etc.
