Relatives of people killed in 2 Boeing Max crashes ask the US to fine the company $24.8 billion

Families of some of the people who died in two Boeing 737 Max crashes are asking the government to impose a fine of nearly $25 billion on the company. They also want the government to move quickly to prosecute the company and former officials on criminal charges. A lawyer for the families said in a letter Wednesday to the Justice Department that a large fine is justified because Boeing committed "the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.” A total of 346 people died in two crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jets. Those flights were operated by Ethiopian Airlines and Indonesia’s Lion Air.
