I do remember some guy embezzling funds from a rail bridge construction in China, causing a derailment that injured some people, being executed.
To be honest, if there needs to be a death penalty, it should be reserved for those cases. A single murder is reprehensible, but it is easy to get the wrong guy. If you do shit like management in Boeing, I wouldn’t say it’s unreasonable to execute the decision maker whose corrupt decision caused a plane to crash and hundreds of people to die.
