That’s for sure. Everyone will want to cover their backs in case there is another Boeing accident.
Lawyers across the world will be having a field day lining up to have a piece of this product liability case.
Apart from the damages for those who died in both accidents there is reputational damage for LionAir and Ethiopian Airlines.
Then there are costs for all the airlines with expensive 737 Max aircraft sitting on the ground.
I wonder how many people will be happy to board a 737 Max after this?
The Deepwater Horizon will be cheap compared to the insurance claims on this.
I’ll bet someone is writing the movie script already.
