First British family takes action against Boeing
The family of a British woman who died when an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed in March is taking action against Boeing, claiming “a catalogue of serious failures” by the aeroplane manufacturer. The family of UN-worker Joanna Toole have begun legal action in a federal court in Chicago. The family say it is the first case to have been filed on behalf of a British passenger in connection with the 2 crashes of Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft. The new claim, which is being led by law firm Irwin Mitchell, includes Rosemount Aerospace, a subsidiary of United Technologies, which made the faulty angle-of-attack sensors implicated in the 2 crashes. A partner at Irwin Mitchell said the allegations against Boeing included criticism of the company’s decision to fit new, larger engines to the existing 737 airframe. <br/>
