Episode 16: Boeing 737 MAX

For over half a century Boeing dominated the commercial aviation industry. Boeing's jet airplanes have carried billions of people in almost every country, and in the process the company built a reputation for safety and solid engineering. It was thus a shock to the world when not one but two of Boeing's latest airliner crashed in a matter of months in late 2018 and early 2019. A look at the decisions that lead to these tragedies reveals how a shifting corporate culture that put profit above engineering and a regulatory body that ceded authority to those that it was meant to be regulating combined to result in the deaths of 346 people. Join us on this episode of "No One is Competent" as we discuss the Boeing 737 MAX.
