'It was no accident'
A Preston man killed when the plane he was travelling in crashed in Ethiopia had his life "stolen" by the "greed" of Boeing who put profits before safety, an inquest heard.
The dual incidents caused a two-year worldwide long-term grounding of the Boeing 737 Max 8, and later resulted in the manufacturer being charged with conspiracy to defraud the US in January 2021. It’s alleged that certain software characteristics of the Max were concealed from the regulator during its certification process.
He added: "Boeing lost their way - for profit corners were cut, warnings were ignored and authorities and airlines were deceived." "A promising career was ended and he never truly realised the difference he had already made. A light has gone out of our lives." "22 of the dead were associated with the UN and nine were working in other humanitarian areas. It was a disaster that went beyond personal tragedy and set back all the good work those people were engaged in."
