A federal judge has awarded $3.6 million to the parents, five siblings and a cousin of an Egyptian-born businessman killed in the 1999 crash of EgyptAir Flight 990. Eastern District of New York Judge Frederic Block wrote that he was aware of no other cases in which a decedent's relatives, beyond his parents, were awarded nonpecuniary damages. Block said the relatives deserved the awards because of their closeness to the deceased, Sami Makary, and the fact that they were economically dependent on him.
