Ethiopian Airline Crash, Boeing Facing Lawsuit
Boeing, makers of Boeing 737 Max have been sued to a US Federal Court, according to a BBC report, the family of Rwandan citizen Jackson Musoni, has filed a lawsuit against Boeing, the maker of the ill-fated Ethiopian boeing 737 Max that crashed just moments after take-off killing everyone on board, all 157 passengers and crew.
In their suit, Jackson’s relatives alleged that Jackson and other passengers in the ill-fated flight died due to a defect in the automated flight control system of the boeing 737 Max, a fault they attributed to Boeing’s negligence.
