Executing the wrong-doers does nothing to correct the chain of events that led to the mistake.
Was there a problem with ATC?
What there a problem with the flight crew physically or mentally?
Was there a problem with the equipment?
Was there a company-wide issue that needs to be addressed?
Was there a human factors issue, such as ATC giving a bunch of after departure instructions that are 99% of the time followed by "cleared for takeoff", but this one time didn't? (Just had this one happen, wakes you up if you catch it)
If you shoot the pilots first, you don't get to find out these things.
