Boeing is facing renewed criticism after the revelation of a January crash involving a 737 Max plane. During a factory tour, a Boeing executive revealed details about the missing bolts that led to a panel coming loose in mid-flight.
This sharing of information angered the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which called it a “blatant violation” of investigative rules. The NTSB is investigating the crash and says Boeing is not permitted to discuss details or speculate on the causes. As punishment, they will limit Boeing’s access to information about the investigation and prevent him from questioning others at an upcoming hearing.
This comes after two deadly Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, which raised concerns about Boeing’s previous assurances of improved safety measures. The January incident and employee reports suggest that such changes have not been enough.
However, Boeing is making some changes. They require more rigorous inspections of plane bodies before final assembly and have reduced production due to restrictions imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration. They have also implemented more training for new hires and are streamlining procedures to reduce errors.
Overall, this accident highlights Boeing’s ongoing struggle to regain trust after past safety issues. While they are making changes, the NTSB’s reaction shows the importance of following investigation protocol.
