As part of a deal to drop the charge, the American aerospace company has agreed to pay or invest an additional $1.1 billion in fines, compensation for the crash victims’ families, and internal safety and quality measures.

Prosecutors alleged Boeing deceived government regulators about a flight-control system that was later implicated in the fatal flights. The ruling comes after an emotional hearing in September when relatives of some of the victims urged U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor to reject the deal and instead appoint a special prosecutor to take over the case.

...so this kind of tragedy is going to happen again then?

    It’s honestly depressing. The FAA let Boeing self-police for years, and now we’re acting shocked it ended this way. 300+ lives lost for a dollar.

    Over 300 people died and no justice has been dealt to the people responsible for the greedy decisions that led to these crashes. Boeing is rotten.

    Headline is misleading. It’s more like an out of court settlement instead of just dropping the case. Still no jail time.
