That will only happen if we change laws to make boards and executives criminally liable for these types of problems.

We need to pierce the corporate veil and directly go after the responsible individuals when they, either directly or by deliberate ignorance, cause problems that lead to people dying etc. No shielding behind a corporation if your decisions to make lots more bucks led to avoidable deaths.

That isn't the corporate veil unless you mean to go after the owners/shareholders. Considering changes to what limited liability corporations can and cannot do is a potential avenue.
