Jury Awards $29M to Michael Ryan's Family | Toronto News

A Chicago jury just delivered a landmark verdict, awarding $29 million to the family of Michael Ryan, a 39-year-old Irish engineer and humanitarian who died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash. His work with the UN World Food Programme spanned crises from Ebola to Rohingya refugee camps across Africa and Asia. This civil suit against Boeing — one of the last major lawsuits stemming from the two deadly 737 MAX crashes — was pursued by his widow, Naoise Connolly Ryan, who refused private settlements in favor of public accountability. The verdict joins another recent $49.5 million award to the family of Samya Stumo, underscoring the enduring fight for justice after the deadliest aviation disasters in modern history.
