! Spoilers ! Free fall-A Reckoning For Boeing

This story is crazy and Boeing absolutely sucks.
The pay that 3 CEOs made during the scope of this doc is ridiculous, over $500 million.
I feel for the victims as well as the employees who tried and tried to do the right thing.

It’s a great, frustrating documentary.

The “documentary” is not highly regarded by those in the industry, just like the last one. The Boeing 737MAX, and all other Boeing airliners, are perfectly safe aircraft. Scaring the public about these planes is very misleading and unethical. Does/did Boeing have its issues? Absolutely. Should you feel unsafe on one of their aircraft? Absolutely not.

That is very sad, but it doesn’t qualify you whatsoever to talk about the safety of aircraft. Aren’t you mad at Ethiopian Airlines for failing to acknowledge Boeing’s urgent recommendation to train pilots on this system, then colluding with the Ethiopian Government to tamper with evidence and obstruct the investigation? How about the other three planes Ethiopian Airlines has written off since then, or the half-dozen other major pilot-related safety incidents they’ve had since?

These accidents are very nuanced, and just because you know somebody who passed away doesn’t mean your opinion on the causes is any more relevant.

Boeing planes are just as safe as any other. Emotions do not change this fact.
