A French woman whose husband was killed in the March crash of a Boeing 737 MAX airliner in Ethiopia has filed a US lawsuit against the planemaker seeking at least $276m (R3.9bn) in damages, her lawyer said on Tuesday. The crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 near the capital Addis Ababa killed all 157 passengers and crew aboard. "Once again corporate greed has placed profits over safety with tragic consequences for the public," Husain said in a written statement. "We have learnt that Boeing relied on a single sensor that had been previously flagged in over 200 incident reports submitted to the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration)." Husain told a Paris news conference he was seeking a minimum of $276m in damages for client Nadege Dubois-Seex.
