Boeing has struck a deal with the U.S. Justice Department to avoid criminal prosecution over the two fatal 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people. The agreement includes a hefty fine and safety improvements but stops short of holding individuals accountable, leaving many victims' families frustrated.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about Boeing dodging legal consequences—it’s a test of whether giant corporations truly face justice when their mistakes cost lives. The deal may close the book for regulators, but for grieving families and critics, it raises bigger questions about who pays the price when corporate failures turn deadly.
