'If the planes had been grounded, my family would be living today'

Politicians in the US have accused the aircraft manufacturer Boeing of putting profit over safety in its design of the 737 Max 8 plane which crashed twice in the space of five months.

Nearly 350 people were killed in the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

Roughly 20 family members have been attending congressional hearings in Washington. Paul Njoroge held up a picture of his wife and three children who died on board the Ethiopian plane.

Newsday's Alan Kasujja spoke to him and asked him about the months since his family were killed in the crash.
