    Incorrect. MCAS didn’t kill two planes worth of people. Pilots failing to react to an inadvertent nose down pitch input correctly as per their MEMORY ITEMS, killed two planes worth of people. Someone

Wow. Incredible. Boeing's $1M bribe inauguration fund payment donation is really paying off dividends

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department has formally moved to dismiss a criminal fraud charge against Boeing and has asked a judge to cancel an upcoming trial connected to two plane crashes that killed 346 people off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia, according to court documents filed Thursday.

The deal, announced last week, will allow the American aircraft manufacturer to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before the planes crashed less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019.

The “agreement in principle” will require the company to pay and invest more than $1.1 billion, including an additional $445 million for the crash victims’ families, in return for dismissing the criminal case, according to court documents. Dismissing the fraud charge will allow the manufacturer to avoid a possible criminal conviction that could have jeopardized the company’s status as a federal contractor, experts have said.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, will decide whether to accept the motion to dismiss, accept the terms of the non-prosecution agreement and whether to cancel the trial. O’Connor on Thursday ordered all the lawyers to present him with a briefing schedule on the government’s motion by June 4.

Mark Tsurkis, who lives in Miami and Colorado Springs, told CBS News Miami he was "coming from one home to another home" when the terrifying moment happened right before they went airborne.

"During the speed-up, when the plane almost took off, we heard a loud boom, and I said 'That's not good,'" he said.

Tsurkis told CBS News Miami that he believes one of the wheels blew up and damaged the aircraft's suspension "because when the plane was slowing down, we saw another wheel pass the airplane on the left side."

American Airlines later confirmed to CBS News Colorado that the aircraft experienced a maintenance issue with a tire and was taken out of service to be inspected by their maintenance team.
