Lawsuit against Boeing over Lion Air crash demands Chicago jury trial

The family of a man who was killed when a Lion Air flight crashed in October has sued Boeing, alleging the 737 MAX 8 aircraft was "unreasonably dangerous" and demanding a jury trial in Chicago, where the US manufacturer is based. The lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of the estate of Sudibyo Onggo Wardoyo, who died when Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea after taking off from Jakarta Oct 29. The lawsuit alleges that the 2-month-old Boeing aircraft was unreasonably dangerous because its sensors provided inaccurate data to its flight control system, causing its anti-stall system to improperly engage. It also alleges Boeing failed to provide adequate instructions to pilots on how to respond to and disengage the plane's anti-stall system. <br/>
