Only 1 Somali national died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash. The largest group by nationality were 32 Kenyans, and Kenya has a GDP per capita of $1,800/yr. But there were many other nationalities, including many from countries with far higher GDPs. 70 (of 149) were from Canada, the US, and the EU. The Lion Air victims were almost entirely Indonesian nationals. Indonesian GDP per capita is $3,800/yr. I get your point, but I don't see any windfalls here. On the face of it, $100 million seems more at the very low end of what might arguably be considered reasonable compensation. The high GDP nationals from the Ethiopian Airlines crash are likely to take a large chunk of that $100 million. Plus people flying, especially those resident in those areas, likely have above average incomes. Seems like Boeing is low-balling. They basically said as much: "We hope this initial outreach can help bring them comfort."
