Prestige... Do you still remember?

Can you still remember the accident of prestige? Well, it was 11 years ago and it was one of the worst petrol spills in Europe ever. After all this time the criminal court in La Coruna (Galicia), finally came to a decision. Everyone involved was innocent of any crimes.
What do we learn with this? That to not comply with safety navigation norms in order to save some money is ok. That to severely harm the environment is not that serious. That to prevent entire communities of fishermen from working for months in a region that greatly depends on fishing is just bad luck. 
Well, the environment is not that important, right? If we completely destroy this earth we can always move to Mars... What? Mars does not have enough O2? Well, our planet will also soon not have much, so what's the difference?
