On March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 tragically crashed, killing all passengers. The plane was Boeing’s relatively new 737 MAX-8. Less than five months earlier a Lion Air flight (also a 737 MAX aircraft) crashed, killing all passengers.
In the wake of the March 10 crash, numerous countries grounded 737 MAX-8 aircraft and the Company is reportedly the subject of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Transportation Department inspector general, and the FBI.
In response to news of the March 10 crash, the price of Boeing shares fell $47.13, or down over 11%, during the next two trading days to close at $375.41 on March 12, 2019.
“How could senior management not know that the modifications to the MAX compromised safety, not tell anyone, and then sell necessary, but possibly inadequate, safety features as optional add-ons?” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein. “We welcome information about what the C suite knew.”
