Lawsuit suggests electrical failures led to Flight 370 crash

A series of catastrophic electrical and other failures may have led to the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 over the Indian Ocean, according to a lawsuit filed in the US on behalf of the families of 44 people on board the still missing plane. The lawsuit, filed Friday against Boeing in US District Court in South Carolina, names 7 malfunctions, from an electrical fire to depressurisation of the plane's cabin, that could have led to the crew losing consciousness, the plane's transponder stopping its transmission and the plane flying undetected until it crashed after running out of fuel. The suit was filed by a special administrator for families who lost loved ones on the flight. The lawsuit was filed in South Carolina because Boeing has built a massive new plant in the state to build the 787 Dreamliner. <br/>
