Boeing settles with a man whose family died in a 737 Max crash in Ethiopia
The jury trial at Chicago's federal court had been set to start Monday to determine damages for Paul Njoroge of Canada. His family was heading to their native Kenya in March 2019 aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 when it malfunctioned and plummeted to the ground. The wreck killed all 157 people on board.
Njoroge, 41, had planned to testify about how the crash affected his life. He has been unable to return to his family home in Toronto because the memories are too painful. He hasn't been able to find a job. And he has weathered criticism from relatives for not traveling alongside his wife and children.
"He's got complicated grief and sorrow and his own emotional stress," said Njoroge's attorney, Robert Clifford. "He's haunted by nightmares and the loss of his wife and children."
Terms of the deal were not disclosed publicly.

Harjinder Singh's Turnpike crash sparks outrage; netizens share similar reckless driving video from Canada, demand industry probe
Recent incidents involving Sikh truck drivers have sparked controversy and concern online, particularly after Hajinder Singh's fatal Turnpike truck crash that claimed three lives on August 15, 2025. Now, a similar video from Winnipeg, Canada, showing another turbaned Sikh truck driver allegedly driving recklessly, has reignited debates across social media. Netizens are now questioning whether enough oversight exists within the North American trucking industry, especially given the recurring pattern in both the US and Canada. While critics claim that some individuals in these roles, often asylum seekers or recent immigrants, are exploiting the system. As the videos circulate widely, calls for stricter background checks and investigations into the trucking sector are growing louder. Similar act of reckless driving in Canada surfaces on social media Following the buzz on social media regarding Hajinder Singh, the man behind the killing of 3 people in California, a video showing a Sikh truck driver engaging in reckless driving in Winnipeg, Canada, has recently surfaced on the internet. The clip has reignited concerns about the safety and calls for stricter regulations within the trucking industry. X (formerly called Twitter), who shared the video, also stated, 'Instead of protecting their own Canadian and American citizens, the governments of Canada and the USA 🇺🇸 continue to support these Sikh turban asylum seekers who protest every single day for Khalistan.' The tweet read, 'Turban stands for illegal alien and anarchy. The Sikh truck driver Harjinder Singh, who killed 3 people in Florida is not even old news, and yet again another Sikh truck driver wearing a turban in Winnipeg, Canada, is doing exactly the same thing.' Turban Stands for Illegal Alien and AnarchyThe Sikh truck driver Harjinder Singh who killed 3 people in Florida is not even old news, and yet again another Sikh truck driver wearing a turban in Winnipeg, Canada, is doing exactly the same instead of protecting their… Netizens call for strict action after fatal crash As the incident sparked debate online, the president of a Canada-based company shared a post mentioning that similar incidents have been reported in Canada too. With large-scale immigration, some individuals have allegedly found ways to exploit the system, obtaining licences through mills run by foreigners. This has raised calls for a thorough investigation of the trucking industry and demands for stricter immigration enforcement and deportations. The tweet read, 'Another POS that shouldn't even be in America kills a family of 3 with a semi truck. Harjinder Singh crossed into the US illegally and got licensed in sanctuary state of California. The braidead muppet decided to do an illegal u turn on an interstate killing a family. He didn't even blink at it.'

He didn't… 'The whole trucking industry needs to be investigated. Time for mass deportation,' he added. One user added, 'Driver didn't even blink as he killed those Americans.' 'Even if you deport him, India wont accept him because most probably he fled from India and lied in US to get that License. And most likely he might be a Khalistani.' While one said, 'Sue the company he works for and the place he got his licence from, take everything from them, their homes and businesses, and then deport them all. And him put him in jail for 50 years and toss the key.' "As far as the illegal alien truck driver that got his commercial license in California and drove to Florida and caused the death of 3 people during an illegal U-turn, the DOJ should make California and Gavin Newsom accomplices to the deaths from aiding and abetting."
