Boeing Crisis Deepens as Documentary Exposes Troubled History

A documentary series about Boeing's troubled history has sparked renewed scrutiny of the aviation giant. The investigation into two 737 MAX plane crashes in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people, was detailed in a follow-up documentary to Downfall: The Case Against Boeing.

The original documentary, directed by Rory Kennedy, explored the reasons behind these crashes and the subsequent investigation. One of its contributors was whistleblower John Barnett, who provided insight into the emotional cost of the loss of life.

The new documentary appears to have reignited the debate about Boeing's safety record and accountability. The company has faced numerous lawsuits and regulatory investigations following the crashes, which led to a significant decline in sales and revenue.
