Families of victims of the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX crash gathered Friday near the headquarters of aircraft manufacturer Boeing to denounce what they called “total impunity" over the loss of life. The accident came barely five months after a similar tragedy in which a 737 MAX operated by Lion Air crashed into the Java Sea off Indonesia, killing 189 people. “Boeing must be sued for manslaughter… It’s manslaughter and they have to be sued and DOJ has to do its work." Instead, Boeing recognized that two employees misled authorities during the certification of the 737 MAX. Berthet and other families of victims are challenging the agreement in a federal court in Texas.
