Wife Of Clare Man Killed In Boeing Crash Welcomes US Court Decision
On Wednesday's Morning Focus, Alan spoke to Naoise Ryan, wife of the late Lahinch native Michéal "Mick" Ryan. Mick was Deputy Chief Engineer at the World Food Programme when he was killed on a Boeing 737 Max Aircraft, which was travelling from Addis Ababa to Nairobi on March 10th 2019. Five months prior, on October 28th, 2018, a 737 Max crashed just minutes after leaving Jakarta airport in Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board. US federal judge Reed O’Connor has ruled that the deaths of the 346 people lost in both aviation disasters were the direct result of criminal behaviour on the part of Boeing and its leaders. His wife Naoise discussed the US court decision to treat the family of lost loved ones as crime victims.
