The suit was filed Monday in federal court in Chicago, where Boeing is based, on behalf of the family of Mucaad Hussein Abdalla, of St. The lawsuit is the latest complaint in a growing number of claims against Boeing following two 737 Max crashes within six months. The suit alleges that Boeing knew or had reason to suspect a malfunction of a new automated anti-stall system known as MCAS. The plane crashed on March 10, shortly after taking off from Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A similar crash involving the same Boeing model plane crashed into the waters off Indonesia in October, killing all 189 on board.
