New questions about Boeing’s troubled 737 Max jet, years after two crashes that killed 346 people. An update of the award-winning investigation with The New York Times into the design, oversight and production of Boeing’s fastest selling plane.New questions about Boeing’s troubled 737 Max jet, years after two crashes that killed 346 people. An update of the award-winning investigation with The New York Times into the design, oversight and production of Boeing’s fastest selling plane.
As FRONTLINE and The New York Times report, though, experts who examined the deadly crash saw something much more serious:says Joe Jacobsen, a former Federal Aviation Administration engineer based in Seattle who worked closely with Boeing, speaking in his first on-camera interview.Boeing responded to the Lion Air tragedy with an advisory to pilots about potential malfunctions, and the FAA did not ground the planes.
says Doug Pasternak, who led the Congressional investigation into the 737 Max and speaks publicly in the film for the first time about what he found.Boeing publicly said the Max went through a deliberate six-year development process. But the New York Times reporters found insiders who said that Boeing executives had been putting the pressure on to design the new 737 quickly - and cheaply.
In examining how the 737 Max crashes happened, the film sheds light on an arrangement that allowed the government to give oversight powers to Boeing: says Natalie Kitroeff, one of the The New York Times reporters that investigated the crashes.“Boeing’s Fatal Flaw” also features the stories of those who have suffered from the disasters: The Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines victims’ families, some of whom lost multiple loved ones.
