Considering that my initial off-the-cuff estimate of how much the response cost the various emergency services involved was somewhere in the $250k-$500k range, the fine will probably just *barely* recover the cost of the resources they wasted, and if he pleads guilty, it won't be frittered away in court costs. Which is good enough for me. I wish I could say I felt sorry for him, but honestly, I don't. I'm also not holding out much hope of him learning much from this mistake. Such people rarely seem to have that ability.
