"Aircraft manufacturer Honeywell and planemaker Boeing has been sued by the families of four passengers who died on an Air India jet that crashed in June. The lawsuit has been filed in the US, accusing the companies of negligence. The families said this amounted to a design "defect" that "allowed for inadvertent cutoff of fuel supply and total loss of thrust necessary to propel" the plane."
"They said: "And what did Honeywell and Boeing do to prevent the inevitable catastrophe? Nothing." The lawsuit alleges that both firms knew about the risk of a crash since they developed and marketed the 787 Dreamliner and its components. Air India Flight 171 bound for London Gatwick, a Boeing 787, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people. A more detailed report of the crash is expected sometime in 2026."
