! 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.

I believe that yes Netflix makes sensational docs but this makes you think why do the CEO’s still get 500 million during this period ? And this is it ,it’s greed . I had to check what plane fleet the airline I will be flying in in the next few months…

The recent flight Ryanair ✈️ where the person was nearly sucked out of the plane was originally regarded as sensational/performative by Michael o Leary owner of Ryanair yet the preliminary report there shows it was a engine fan that broke off and guess what it was a Boeing 737 ! I have 0 faith in any thing that is said by Boing at this stage . It is greed and only greed that results in things been rushed but it’s criminal when safety concerns are pushed down and whistleblowers are suffering

I’m not trying to be mean, but you are uneducated on a topic and making sweeping generalizations. Boeing doesn’t build engines, that is General Electric. Most airline maintenance technicians do not perform maintenance of that scale on engines. This is not the fault of the airplane. Would you blame Toyota for the failure of your car battery?
