Lion Air accident in Indonesia: pair of crash victim sues Boeing

The father of one of the plane crash in Indonesia killed a passenger has sued the U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing. The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in a court in the US state of Illinois, where the corporate headquarters of Boeing, told one of the lawyers of H. Irianto, Curtis Miner,. The law firm refers to in its lawsuit, the problems with the flight control system of the machine on which the investigators of the cause of the disaster currently focus on. It is therefore a newly introduced System.

The Boeing 737 of the low cost carrier of Lion Air was on 29. October shortly after its launch from the airport in Jakarta into the sea plunged. In the accident all 189 occupants were killed, including the son of the plaintiff, the Rio Nanda Putrama came. It is assumed that technical problems have caused the crash.

In the case of the crashed Lion Air flight is a bad flight position Sensor or a faulty Software led to the fact that the onboard computer steered the machine into the sea.

Boeing is silent known

The procedure, like with this incident is to deal, was the pilot of the Lion Air flight, apparently not. Pilots, various Airlines have recently confirmed that Boeing had not documented the new Software and its function.

"It is particularly surprising that security experts and the Chairman of the pilot unions that Boeing has failed its customers, and the pilots of the new flight up tool 737 MAX on these significant Changes to the flight control system or an appropriate manual in its instructions for use insert," said another lawyer of the team, Austin Bartlett. On a request Boeing is not answered initially.
