Kenyan family sues Boeing over Ethiopian 737 Max crash

The family of a Kenyan man who died in a Boeing 737 Max 8 that crashed in Ethiopia last month filed a complaint against the planemaker in a court in Illinois. The family alleged that Boeing failed to properly inform pilots about the dangers presented by sensors that malfunctioned on the doomed jet, and caused the “wrongful death” of their kin. The legal team will let the jury determine the amount of compensation to be paid, Texas-licensed lawyer Nomaan Husain said. “Right now we are not looking at Ethiopian Airlines at all” because initial information shows pilots followed procedure, Husain said. The parents of another American victim are also making a claim against Boeing, Ethiopian, and aircraft-sensor maker Rosemount Aerospace for negligence. <br/>
