A discussion with Mark Pegram, who lost his son in the 737 Max crash, and Ed Pierson, a former Boeing manager, raises safety concerns. Pierson warned about production pressures compromising safety before the accidents. Experts weigh in on the FAA's regulatory role and Boeing's safety measures post-accidents.
