I suppose this was inevitable. After the disastrous blowout of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight over Portland in January, a great deal of scrutiny was applied to Boeing’s 737 MAX series of aircraft and the safety and maintenance procedures the company employs. But what of the passengers on the flight? Thankfully, nobody was sucked out of the plane, killed, or even seriously injured. One teenager had his shirt pulled off of him by the suction, but otherwise, everyone seemed to be mostly okay, though understandably shaken up. But now, just short of two months later, three of the passengers from the flight are suing Boeing and Alaska Airlines for one billion dollars. We should have known that the lawyers would be circling this situation like sharks, but the people bringing the suit will need to be able to demonstrate damages. (NY Post)
