American Airlines and seven other companies agreed to pay $110 million to settle lawsuits filed by relatives of some of the 68 people killed when an American Eagle plane plunged into an Indiana field. The agreement settled 26 lawsuits covering the deaths of 27 passengers and crew members aboard flight 4184.
