Trump’s justice department is considering a non-prosecution agreement, through which Boeing would not need to plead guilty

Boeing is set to avoid prosecution in a fraud case sparked by two fatal crashes of its bestselling 737 Max jet that killed 346 people, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The US Department of Justice is considering a non-prosecution agreement, relatives of the victims were told on Friday, through which the US aerospace giant would not be required to plead guilty.

Representatives of the crash victims’ families expressed outrage, describing the proposal as “morally repugnant” after a tense call with senior justice department officials.

Just because they avoided prosecution doesn't mean they will avoid consequences. Low chance of course, but still technically possible.

Like me flying for pleasure ever again. I had to fly out for businesses and the first thing we did was to filter out maxes.

What confuses me is why they are talking about Boeing. Boeing is just a legal entity. What about the people who made those crashes possible?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago

This is why America is a garbage country.

People < corporations.

In an ideal world, the people in charge of Boeing and those who green lit the choices, should be charged with some form of mass murder. This wasn’t an accident, it was intentional. Luigi them all.

In December, however, US district Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas rejected the agreement. He cited a diversity and inclusion provision related to the selection of an independent monitor.

Jesus Christ

Was a brown-skinned Palestinian Jew. If He were among us today, Trump would deport Him.

As far as these survivors are concerned, they are going about it all the wrong way. Instead of paying lawyers, they should start (very publically) saying they start a GoFundMe, and if the Administration rules in their favor, they will donate all the funds to the Trump Presidential Library for a hangar for the Qatari Air Force One, but only if they get a favorable ruling. Who's gonna stop them?

In China they execute executives who do not have the public interest at heart.

And ethnicities they don't like, and their own people that don't agree with the government.

Yes but we’re talking about china not USA

They probably made a deal to retrofit the Quatar plane for less money in exchange for brushing their greed and negligence under the table.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

So they're getting paid to short cut the build process of air force one to avoid the consequences of their previous shirt cut efforts?

Solid logic there.

It's an easy mistake to make. For future reference, Wikiquote – a sister project of Wikipedia like Wiktionary and Wikimedia Commons are – is very often a good benchmark for whether famous people have said a quote.

  • For famous quotes that they've said, they're usually listed (if they are, there's a citation to exactly where that quote came from).
  • For famous quotes they didn't say, the "Misattributed" section often has the quote with a cited explanation of where it actually comes from.
  • For famous quotes they might've or probably didn't say, the "Disputed" section shows where it's first attributed to them but of course cannot provide a source where they themselves say it.

It doesn't have every quote, but for very famous people, it filters out a lot of false positives. Since it gives you a citation, often you can leave a URL to the original source alongside your quote for further context and just so people who'd otherwise call BS have the source. And it sets a good example for others to cite their sources.

it’s amazing to me how the list of reasons i’ll never fly again just keeps getting longer and longer by the day

It's finally to much for me. Not even the free ball fondling can make up for all the downsides.

They don't even cuddle with you. They just go for the balls to make sure you got two or something.

Note the absence of the words "surprise" or "shock" from the article.
