About 50 families of passengers who died in last year's Panorama 737 Max crash in Indonesia have signed documents preventing them from suing either firm, according to the BBC's Lion Air Boeing. The programme claimed those who agreed were paid £74,000 ($92,000), a fraction of what could have been millions of dollars in compensation. Similar documents were signed after fatal crashes involving Boeing planes in 2005 and 2007, and Lion Air Boeing said the same unnamed insurance lawyer was involved in all three cases. US lawyer Sanjiv Singh said it was "implausible" that Boeing did not know about the documents.
