The judge overseeing a lawsuit against Boeing has ruled that the fear experienced by the 157 people on an Ethiopian Airlines flight prior to the 2019 crash that killed everyone on board can be considered in an upcoming damages trial.Īttorneys for Boeing had argued in March that court rulings over prior plane crashes in Illinois, where the trial is taking place, had established precedent that damages could only be considered for injuries and pain caused by the plane crash, and not the unknowable pain and fear that results from knowing a plane is about to crash.Ĭonsidering the plane crashed fast enough that everyone on board died instantly, the attorneys argued, Boeing couldn't be held liable for any pain and suffering felt by the victims as they didn't feel any pain.
