An Irish woman whose husband was among the 346 victims of two 737 Max plane crashes says she intends to do everything possible to hold Boeing executives to account for the deaths.

“This is about truth, accountability, and real justice,” Naoise Ryan said last night, after she and other relatives of the crash victims filed a motion in a US court arguing that the US government “lied and violated their rights through a secret process” which allowed Boeing to escape criminal prosecution and face nothing more than “a slap on the wrist” arising out of the two crashes.
