How much is a life worth? Relatives of westerners killed in MH370 crash to receive MILLIONS more in compensation than families of the plane's Asian passengers - as airline prepares for $750 million in claims

The 'Montreal Convention' covers all passengers for $US176,000

Families of victims can then seek further damages in their home country

Lawyers cite varying legal systems as the reason for the massive differences in potential claim
