March 8 (UPI) — A class action lawsuit against Boeing alleges a series of electrical and other malfunctions caused the crash of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The lawsuit filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of South Carolina on behalf of the families of 44 people who were on the plane alleges there are several possible reasons the plane crashed.
The lawsuit accuses Boeing of negligence in its design, manufacturing and sale of the Boeing 777 that crashed three years ago.
“The crash and loss of the passengers was a reasonable and foreseeable consequence of Boeing’s defective design, manufacture and/or assembly of the aircraft for which Boeing is strictly liable,” the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit alleges there could have been a fire due to “defective and inadequately protected and installed” electrical wiring, that the plane inadvertently depressurized and that the cockpit’s communications equipment were “defective and subject to failure,” among other problems.
“The defects caused and/or allowed a massive and cascading sequence of electrical failures on board the lost plane which disabled vital systems … making it impossible for the crew to navigate the plane or for the plane to communicate with the ground stations leaving the aircraft to fly without the ability to communicate or control the aircraft until the plane ran out of fuel,” the lawsuit alleges.
MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, after leaving Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia en route to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. Malaysian authorities concluded the flight had ended in the Indian Ocean, but no confirmed MH370 debris was found until last year when a right wing flaperon was discovered on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar.
Boeing is also accused of equipping the plane with technology for locating the plane that was known to be defective, which the lawsuit alleges is the main reason the plane remains lost.
“When Boeing placed the aircraft into the stream of commerce, the aircraft was defective in its manufacture, design and/or assembly,” the lawsuit alleges. “The defects in the manufacture, assembly and/or design of the aircraft caused the crash and disappearance of Flight MH370 and crash.”
These plaintiffs have it exactly right. The overwhelming preponderance of the evidence shows that this is just another crash as a direct result of Boeing’s enterprise QA fraud, which makes only a joke out of its entire quality system. Because of it no stamp, rubber or electronic, by any Boeing QA inspector on any “paperwork” has any value at all in showing the particular job or process bought off met any standards at all–even critical ones. 750 people have died because of this Boeing Board directed QA fraud before this. Add these on, and that makes 989 at least.
Mary Schiavo knows more than anyone alive about aviation safety and the QA that ensures it. That she is involved in this suit speaks massive volumes. She knows just as much as I do how Boeing mismanagement and fraud has killed these people. They need to sue for more than just maximum damages because of this crash. They need to sue for damages against Boeing for the executive management fraud that directly led to these additional deaths. They need to sue for an amount that will threaten existence of the company. Only such a successful suit will result in the 100% management replacement that will remove the current criminal and murderous bunch at the helm of Boeing and one day allow passengers and crews one day to step on a Boeing plane without legitimate fears that they too will end up just like the 989 people on board Boeing flights JAL 123, TWA 800, and MH370–dead.
