Judge rules that victims of deadly Boeing 737 MAX crashes are victims of a CRIME - which will allow families of those who died on board to file new lawsuits against the company
- The first Max crashed in Indonesia in October 2018, killing 189, and another crashed five months later in Ethiopia, killing 157
- Boeing, which misled safety regulators who approved the Max, agreed in January 2021 to pay $2.5 billion - including a $243.6 million fine
- A judge in Fort Worth, Texas, has now said the crashes were a foreseeable consequence of Boeing's conspiracy
- His ruling means the relatives are representatives of crime victims - but the full impact of the ruling is not yet known
