American lives have been claimed in these incidents as well.

I'm unsure about what you are implying here.

How is that relevant in FAA's decision not to ground the planes? Do you think they'd ground the planes if the majority of the victims were American?

The original post in this thread said:

> all the FAA can be thankful of is the dead are foreigners so it’s unlikely they’ll be held properly accountable

and that's what the answers are responding too, saying it's wrong and there are American victims as well.

If both of these crashes happened on US flights, they would most definitely have grounded these planes, but I don't really think that's a surprising or significant observation.
