Will the US Prosecute Boeing?

A California father, Ike Riffel, who lost his two sons in the 2019 Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia, anxiously awaits a decision from the U.S. Justice Department on whether to prosecute Boeing for the disasters that claimed 346 lives. Riffel fears that instead of a trial, Boeing might be offered a deferred prosecution agreement, potentially hiding the truth from the families of the victims. The Justice Department previously charged Boeing with fraud but allowed for a deferred prosecution agreement, leading to concerns among the families. The decision holds significance for families worldwide affected by the crashes, with many urging for accountability and safer aviation practices. Riffel and other families have united to push for justice and improved safety measures in the aviation industry, seeking to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
