Boeing is being pushed to plead guilty in a case involving two deadly air crashes that killed hundreds of people.
Boeing is considering a plea deal offered by federal prosecutors over a pair of deadly crashes involving 737 MAX jets, which are assembled at a plant in Renton.
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.However, prosecutors said Boeing violated the terms of the agreement when a door plug blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
Relatives of the people who died criticize the deal, saying it only requires Boeing to admit it defrauded safety regulators but does nothing to link the company’s actions to the deaths of all those passengers.
