Boeing Discusses Possible Settlement: Airplane manufacturer Boeing Co. said it discussed possible financial settlements with the families of victims killed in the crash of a Boeing 747 air freighter in the Dutch city of Amsterdam. At least 50 people were killed when the Boeing cargo jet flown by El Al, Israel’s national airline, crashed into an apartment building Oct. 4. Keith Gerrard, the company’s top negotiator in accident litigation, talked in Amsterdam with lawyers for survivors of the victims, Boeing said.
