Boeing Avoids Prosecution in 737 Max Crash Deal

Boeing Avoids Prosecution in 737 Max Crash Deal

Imagine a big airplane company, Boeing, made planes called 737 Max.

Some of these planes crashed, and people died.

The government said Boeing didn't tell them everything about the planes, like a hidden feature.

Now, the government and Boeing made a deal.

Boeing will pay a lot of money to help the families of the people who died.

In return, the government won't put Boeing on trial for lying.

Some people are happy because the families will get money, but others are upset because they think Boeing should be punished more severely.
