Plane Crash Lawsuits: Profits vs Safety

Two wrongful death lawsuits filed against Boeing and VT San Antonio Aerospace following a cargo plane crash in Kentucky, which killed three pilots and eleven people on the ground. Lawyers allege corporate decisions prioritized profits over safety, with older aircraft flying without increased maintenance. The MD-Eleven jet that crashed had cracks where the engine connected to the wing, according to the NTSB. UPS and GE, who manufactured the planes engines, have stated safety is their top priority. The lawsuits were filed on behalf of the families of two victims, and all MD-Eleven planes used by UPS, FedEx, and Western Global have been grounded for inspections and repairs.
