Boeing heard all the warnings, it just wasn’t listening
The aircraft manufacturer deliberately moved its headquarters to be away from day-to-day business. It was a disaster.
Sarah Green CarmichaelCommentatorThe strange thing about the Boeing crisis is that so many people saw it coming – and tried to stop it. The planemaker’s safety problems have been obvious since two 737 Max jets crashed in late 2018 and early 2019, killing 346 people. Boeing’s engineers were warning managers of potential quality problems as far back as 2001. But Boeing executives must not have listened and the 737 Max crashes apparently weren’t a sufficiently loud wake-up call.
