>- First, most executives have little impact on the specific event that put the firm under. (I was a senior marketing person; the building burned down.

without stats I gotta think your case is an outlier, and in many other companies having financial difficulties a senior marketing person might have more impact (although I think impact is generally supposed to be at a higher level than senior marketing)

Also - fire contingency planning is quite literally the executives' job. They may have perceived that as a small risk, or it may not have been on their radar, but that was their decision. Why do they get rewarded first?
