Boeing should be charged with manslaughter rather than just fined, according to Naoise Ryan, the widow of UN worker Mick Ryan who died in a plane crash in 2019. 

She was speaking yesterday as the aircraft-manufacturing giant was fined $2.5bn (€2bn) for misleading regulators about the safety of its 737 Max planes.
