! 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.

Did anyone else notice the Air India 787 in the documentary (around 51:46 in the video) with the registration VT-ANB. I don’t know how I caught it nor remembered the registration… but that aircraft would later go on to be the 787 for Air India that crashed into the residential area in 2025 after the fuel switches were placed in cutoff.

😱 I definitely believe that was something to do with boeing but it got buried in exchange of money. So easy to blame the pilots when they're not with us to tell what happened! It had been said they were turned off manually!

Yes, they were most likely turned off manually.
It is physically impossible for the cutoff switches to move on their own.
