“It is a known fact that Boeing 737s have defective design in the rudder system,”
I assume he's referring to the rudder hard-over problems where they lost a couple and nearly lost a third before finally tracking it down. That ought to have been fixed by now, plus the pilot training was supposed to have been altered a bit to improve the chance of survival if something similar happened again. Anyone still flying with the old design ought to be sued, not Boeing.

However, given the rest of what he said, I'm guessing he's done a Google search and hauled up a bunch of unrelated stuff on 737 crashes and the particular aircraft and tried to stick it together to make a case.
