The Seattle Times reported on Thursday that four flight attendants on the Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 aircraft that was struck by a mid-air cabin panel explosion in January of last year are suing Boeing for psychological and physical harm.
The newspaper reported that they mentioned emotional distress, bodily and mental ailments, and other incident-related financial expenses in separate lawsuits requesting compensation for past and future economic losses.
It quoted their attorney, Tracy Brammeier, as stating, “All four flight attendants acted bravely, adhering to their training and prioritizing the safety of their passengers while fearing for their lives.” They should receive full compensation for this horrible event that changed their lives.
According to the publication, the claims were filed Tuesday in King County Superior Court in Seattle and accused Boeing of manufacturing negligence and product responsibility for producing an aircraft that was hazardous to fly. Alaska Airlines and Brammeier did not immediately reply to Reuters’ request for comment, while Boeing declined to comment. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) claimed last month that Boeing had not provided sufficient supervision, training, or direction to stop the catastrophe.
