With over 5000 hours of flight time in Boeings, I can tell you that Boeing did NOT "murder" the people who died in those crashes any more than Airbus "Saved" the people on Flight 1549, aka Miracle on the Hudson. I don't know where you got information on "no pilot error" but the truth is the problem was in the cockpit but it wasn't the design. The core of that design has been in existence since the 60's and to be sure, when it malfunctions, it is incumbent on the pilots to quickly disable the malfunctioning box and fly the aircraft manually. That didn't happen in those crashes. I'm all for corporate accountability for major shenanigans, be they in manufacturing or the banking/investing industry responsible for 2008 economic meltdown, etc. BUT if the product is misused, it's hard to hold the execs legally accountable and piling on withe examples of quality control issues for what they were fined for as a design problem, just isn't fair.
