A family of a Kenyan man who died in last month’s Ethiopia Airlines crash said it is taking the plane manufacturer Boeing to court in the US. In all, 157 people died when the Boeing 737-Max 8 went down six minutes after take off on a flight from Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, to Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. Boeing is facing three other law suits relating to the Ethiopia crash, including from members of the family of a Rwandan victim. Pilots “repeatedly” followed procedures recommended by Boeing before the crash, according to the first official report into the disaster. Boeing’s boss has admitted for the first time a failure in the jet’s anti-stall system was a factor in the crash.
