The US Justice Department has reached a tentative agreement with Boeing that allows the planemaker to avoid prosecution over the fatal 737 Max crashes, which claimed numerous lives. As part of the deal, Boeing will pay $1.1 billion to settle the cases. This decision has drawn criticism from families of the victims, who believe that the move to spare Boeing from a guilty plea is morally indefensible. Additionally, some US senators are urging the DOJ to reconsider the deal amid growing public discontent regarding the handling of corporate accountability in cases of such tragic outcomes.
