A federal court jury in Chicago has awarded more than $28 million to the relatives of a United Nations environmental specialist who died in the 2019 crash of a Boeing 737 MAX jetliner in Ethiopia.

The verdict, in favor of the family of Shikha Garg, was the first civil trial stemming from the March 2019 disaster that killed all 157 people on board Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.
