Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Boeing said it will begin dispensing $50 million in immediate financial assistance to the families of nearly 350 people who died in two crashes of the 737 Max 8, in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
The company said Monday the money will come from the Boeing Financial Assistance Fund, which consists of $100 million pledged by the aviation giant in July "to address family and community needs of those affected by the tragedies."
