“The families are asking for the opportunity to discuss freely … the criminal behavior, or behavior that the families argue is criminal, with the DOJ,” Brammeier said. Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, the Air Boeing 737 MAX, crashed near Addis Ababa airport just six minutes after takeoff, killing all on board in 2019. It was the second crash involving a Boeing 737 Max within five months. Three previous requests from the families to share the documents with DOJ were turned down by the court. Under Weisman’s order, lawyers for the families will be required to inform Boeing of the specific documents they intend to share with the DOJ.
