Boeing dedicates $100 million to victims of 737 Max crashes
New York (CNN Business) Boeing will pay out $100 million to help support the families and communities of the 346 people who died in two 737 Max crashes in the last year. The company said the money will be given to local nonprofits and community groups who will help distribute the funds. They'll be used to support education, including college tuition or other schooling expenses for children of victims, and "hardship or living expenses for impacted families," Boeing (BA) said in… (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
What an insult, offering less than the cost of one 737 Max to the families of 346 people killed in 2 separate crashes. The crashes were the result of an issue that Boeing KNEW ABOUT and did not acknowledge to the general public nor the flight crews of the aircraft until after the second fatal crash. Obviously, the pay of Boeing's CEO and the value of its stock outweighed the lives of the flight crews and passengers of the 737 Max. Criminal negligence, if not murder.
LOL, it's going to cost Boeing a lot more than that. Add a few more zeroes, boys. Boeing deserves to pay out the nose for what they did.
Meanwhile the fat cat at the top got a raise.

"But first, sign this agreement to never, ever sue Boeing or give any interviews saying how much you miss your loved ones if you want us to toss a few bucks your way."
I wonder if Boeing has forgotten that it wasn't just bunch of poor Third Worlders who were killed. There were also North American and European passengers among the dead and I don't think they'll be easily coerced into accepting Boeing's first offer. Lots and lots of lawyers will make sure of that.

Is reading comprehension the problem, or is it more pathological in nature?
"Third Worlders" is a generous yet rascist according to your own value judgements.
Geez. Looks like (on the surface, admittedly) poorly disguised and inappropriately adjusted damage control. Using third party distribution channels weakens the effort by untold amounts. What's happened at Boeing? Or maybe those "in the know" feel this is business as usual?
