DOWNFALL: THE CASE AGAINST BOEING – Ron Howard produced this documentary offering a timeline and specific details which reveal exactly how and why two brand new 737 MAX airliners plummeted to the ground, killing all passengers and crew aboard. Spoiler alert – Corporate executives at Boeing who valued profit and stock prices above human life. It’s a despicable story which made me sick to my stomach. Kelly and Mike, too. (We come from an airline family) These suits intentionally didn’t inform pilots there was a new software system, MCAS, installed in the aircraft because they didn’t want to pay for additional pilot training. As a result, and with only seconds to react, the crew had no idea what was happening, or how to control the airplane, when the crisis occurred. After Boeing blamed the pilots for the first crash, questions began to surface about the safety of the plane. Still not admitting there could be a design flaw, Boeing began to train pilots in simulator. When the second mid-air crisis presented, pilots followed their Boeing training….and crashed anyway. That’s when the fleet was finally grounded. Pilots refused to fly the aircraft to their holding locations. As Federal investigative hearings dragged on, Boeing continued to blame flight crews, withhold documentation and deny any culpability for the safety breach of their aircraft. With devastated family members looking on, Capt. Sully said it best, “the crew was fighting for their lives in the fight of their lives. Pilots cannot be expected to compensate for a design flaw.” Cheers to the Feds, pilots and family members who fought Boeing, delivered the truth and kept the rest of us safe! Unanimous toasts from the peeps! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 100s.
