Compare this to the fine which volkswagen got (6 times more) and prison term for the top managers, having killed 0 people.

Unfortunately US justice is very unfair against foreign corporations.

This is a really interesting comparison.

We can’t know the small or incremental damage that VW’s emissions did to people’s health... but at face value, it feels like Boeing’s punishment is an order of magnitude or two too low.

It has been estimated VW caused 59 early deaths in the US and probably a lot more people got sick etc... so not exactly negligible. However, I agree with the general point of your comment.
