Boeing is being pushed to plead guilty in a case involving two deadly air crashes that killed hundreds of people, but family members of those victims said the punishment falls short, and they are outraged the case may not go to trial.
Federal prosecutors offered the plea deal over the weekend, and it involves the two 737 MAX crashes that killed 364 passengers in 2018 and 2019. The U.S. Department of Justice later charged Boeing with fraud for failing to tell regulators about an error in a new software system that forced both planes into nosedives, killing everyone on board.
The case was resolved through a deferred prosecution, and the company paid a $2.5 billion fine.
However, prosecutors said Boeing violated the terms of the agreement when a door plug blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight in January. This latest plea offer is an attempt to resolve the situation.
