If it is impossible to know the subjective experience of each occupant, how can Boeing be so sure that they weren't suffering the worst terror and anguish until the moment of impact?

They don’t… burden of proof though. It’s a shitty thing to argue, but I guess they weighed the cost of paying for the suffering vs. the hit their image would take for making the argument.

It’s a weaker burden in a civil case though, just “more likely than not”. So, if “we really can’t know” then we should assume the average response to flight terror, not the lowest.
