The NTSB criticized Boeing's safety practices after a recent midair incident involving a 737 MAX 9 due to inadequate training and production oversights. The failure to install critical bolts during production resulted in significant safety risks. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy stated that the situation was wholly preventable, with noted deficiencies evident for over a decade. The incident raised concerns of compliance violations leading to a DOJ investigation. Boeing faces leadership changes, with CEO Dave Calhoun announcing his resignation in light of these failures while committing to improve safety standards.
"The incident was entirely avoidable because the planemaker should have addressed the unauthorised production that was identified in numerous internal audits for at least 10 years."
"It's nothing short of a miracle that no one died or sustained serious physical injuries due to the safety deficiencies observed by both Boeing and the FAA."
