Boeing has been through many crashes over the span of 109 years which being the worst crash is the KLM flight 4805 and Pan Am flight 1736 taking the lives of 583 people total back in 1977. The reason people want to sue them is all of the stuff that happened in 2024 like the Alaska Air door came off and caused the plane to go in for an emergency landing. Over 400 Boeing pilots are suing Boeing because of "unpredicted cover up" and "known design flaws",but as the lawsuit settled in on the two fatal crashes they have had, Boeing pleaded guilty to all charges causing them to lose 243 million U.S dollars. There was another lawsuit over the Boeing 737 MAX and they lost 2.1 billion dollars .
I don't think Boeing should have been sued because there are so many things that could have happened. The door of the Alaska Air plane could have been lacking ground crew check . Most of the time crashes happen during take off and landing also can happen because of miscommunication between the ATC tower and the pilot. There are many other reasons Boeing shouldn't be sued because the planes are good planes, just the people that maintain the plane might not do a very good job. While there are over 90 percent civil complaints suing Boeing. Back in 2024 Boeing also did lose about 4 billion dollars.
There are many reasons they were sued, like conspiracy to defraud the United states for its role in the two fatal 737 MAX crashes. Since they rushed the 737 MAX there were many design flaws with it. While Boeing took the blame it was mostly the fault of two low level employees because they misled the regulators and they tried to put the crashes behind it. They grounded the planes for 20 months and let them fly after reducing the power on the engines. With the flaws in the Boeing 737 MAX the pilots lost the controls of the plane causing 346 to lose their lives.
Even though boeing has been through a lot in the 2020's so far with all their mistakes is where they can fix the issues and figure out what the issue truley is. boeing is a reliable source of planes but the issue with a lot of these planes people dont want to fly on a boeing plane because they have had many issues with a few of their planes especiallt the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and so forth. Boeing has seen more fatal crashes but those were only because it was foggy and the ATC tower didnt see the planes. a pro on the lawsuit is that boeing has found the issue and resolved it before more planes could have crashed again, and a con is that boeing has lost ove 6 billion dollars in the process and is about $53 billion in debt

Good topci choice and summary Ben! Be sure to include your sources next time. The issue is you didn't reoly to any student comments which is worth 30 points. Posted a bit late as well.
I think they should have been sued because they were one hundred percent at fault for the crashes. Even though they have already lost a bunch of money they should still be able to get sued for the lives of innocent people they took.
I think that they are at fault for the crashes, as a you stated above there might not of been sufficient ground checks. However, this would not of happened for multiple aircrafts. These covered up lies have caused thousands of deaths across the United States and we need to stop this.
I believe that boeing should be sued. It is their fault even if there was not ground check before the plane took off. Many peoples lives have been taken because of their fualty equipment, and it should not happen any longer.
I beleive Boeing should be sued, many lives were put in danger as they knew that they werent almost complete guarenteed a safe flight. Boeing was at fault because they have went through many faliures and didn't do enough to ensure a safer flight for the passengers. I beleive they should have prioritized others lifes more and they wouldn't be in a situation like this.
Yes I do think they were at fault for the crahes. They rushed the 737 MAX which they should have not because then they did not do all the things correct.
Yes, I think Boeing is 100% liable for these lawsuits as they put many innocent lives in danger. Just this alone would provoke a lawsuit for millions. I think that the pilots could potentially be misinformed and not educated to understand the flight and communication systems used. For example in the 737 Max, the MCAS or Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System was a major flaw because it wasn't well understood by the pilots that flew these aircraft.
Boeing should be sued. They should have been way more carful with there safety and they should have priotized safety over everything. So yes I do think Boeing should be sued.
I think as a corporation Boeing in some cases should have been sued. I think that the main and most diastorous problems should have resulted in a lawsuit. For example the 737 Max crisis where 2 fatal crashes prompted an immediate grounding of the aircraft. This is definitely a scenario where people would sue.
I agree with you because it is obvious that they should have been sued and you explained it. It is an obvious case of when someone should be sued. If I was anyone I would sue them very heavily.
