Boeing Sued By Chinese Asiana Accident Survivors

Class Action Suit Seeks $50,000 For Each Of The Claimants

About 80 Chinese survivors of the Asiana Airlines accident in San Francisco last year have joined a class-action lawsuit against Boeing.

An attorney for the class who filed the claim in a court in Illinois said the Boeing 777 had "flaws in design" and that the company had not sufficiently trained the pilots flying the aircraft, according to a report from China Youth Daily.

No cause for the accident has been determined. The airplane did not appear to maintain the proper speed on approach to San Francisco International Airport and impacted a seawall in a nose-high attitude as the pilot attempted to go around.

Both the airline and the pilots have said that it is possible that a speed controller malfunctioned during the flight, but the NTSB has said that its preliminary inspection of the airplane did not point to any mechanical malfunction.

The parents of the Chinese teenager who was allegedly struck by an emergency vehicle and fatally injured after the accident have also sued the City of San Francisco.
