'Disturbing revelations' of how Boeing escaped scrutiny from FAA in race to deliver profits

摘要

A "culture of concealment" by Boeing and erroneous technical assumptions, combined with insufficient oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), contributed to the two 737 Max tragedies. That conclusion was reached by a broad US congressional investigation into the causes of the 29 October 2018 crash of Lion Air flight 610 and the 10 March 2019 crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302, which killed a combined 346 people. "The Max crashes were not the result of a singular failure, technical mistake or mismanaged event," the report, released on 16 September, concluded.
