> I'm not actually sure how much worse the Safe breakout could have actually been. Guards were killed, major villains escaped leading to far more death and suffering, and the world was terrorised. Admittedly, things got that bad because Doorman piggybacked on Chiaki's plan to turn loose damn near everybody but it got about as nasty as it could have done.

Maybe, but right now nobody knows he did it. Chiaki is the one and only suspect, and she can't prove anyone else was directly involved except for the as of yet untraced explosives the police found.
It's enough for reasonable doubt on Chiaki's behalf (because she never handled the explosives) but not to pin it on someone else.
The escape could have been worse because there are prisoners who could have destroyed the city in mere hours who didn't manage it. It's likely they would have if they knew there would be a breakout ahead of time, or if the explosives did most of the work for them at the Safe.
