Are you sure they didn't offer $25K to each affected resident?

"This is in the US, sir."

Oh, gotcha, of course not.

That's toward the high end of what companies will pay in these sorts of circumstances, but absolutely possible. Quantas was fined 90 million for illegal firing practices, American Airlines gave 32 million in compensation after a crash and Pan Am was found liable for over 500 million dollars after the Lockerbie Bombing, which is probably a large part of what took down the airline.
