This chapter explores the recent incidents involving Boeing airplanes and the serious consequences they have had for the company, including CEO replacement and changes in oversight regulations. It also discusses the actions being taken by the FAA to ensure Boeing's compliance with safety standards.
Missing bolts, door panels flying off in midair — and that’s not even on the planes that crashed. The Washington Post’s Ian Duncan and the Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Tangel explain why Boeing is a problem the FAA still hasn’t fixed.
This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Avishay Artsy, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by David Herman, and hosted by Noel King.
