How much are BOEING offering to settle this? It sound like a "CLASS ACTION" lawsuit. The AMERICAN that was killed in NK, his family reached $500 million dollar settlement, that is just one AMERICAN, and these are ten KEYANS, with loving families as well. One was a "SPY," the others were just "PASSENGERS."
I highly doubt anyone got a $500M settlement at all...especially for 1 person...
It's easy to win $500MM against a government that is considered a state sponsor of terrorism and did not defend itself in court. NK didn't argue, so it was plaintiff and judge with no defense.
They may have won a settlement in US Courts but to this date, they have not received one dime of that money. Nothing can force NK to pay that amount of damage. Attempting to steal something from a barbaric Gvt such as NK and actually receiving money which leads to your death is another.
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,"
Dont blame them
