The gorgeous Qatar Boeing 747 jet has been accepted by the Pentagon
The Pentagon has accepted an “unprecedented gift” from Qatar, a Boeing 747 that the White House plans to use as Air Force 1.
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department said on May 23 that it could avoid prosecution in a fraud case caused by crashing of two deadly 737 largest planes that killed 346 people.
The agreement will keep Boeing from branding the convicted felons, losing relatives in crashes, and a blow to the families who have forced prosecutors to bring US planners to trial.
Boeing has agreed to pay an additional $444.5 million to the crash victims fund. This would be split evenly across each crash victim, along with a $243.6 million fine.
The Department of Justice plans to file a written agreement with Boeing by next weekend.
