An American jury has ordered Boeing to pay 29 million dollars in damages to the family of an Irish UN engineer who died in the 2019 crash of a 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The decision was announced on Wednesday by a court spokesperson, following a civil lawsuit filed by the victim's family.
The fatal incident involved the widely scrutinized 737 MAX 8 model, which faced global grounding and extensive legal fallout following multiple catastrophic accidents during that period. This verdict marks another financial and legal penalty for the aerospace manufacturer stemming from the 2019 disaster.
