Boeing Under Fire as Whistleblowers Share Alarming Safety Concerns

Rory Kennedy's new Netflix documentary, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing, sheds light on ongoing concerns about the aerospace giant. The film revisits the company after whistleblowers urged Kennedy to return to the subject.

The documentary examines the issues surrounding Boeing through interviews with current and former employees, journalists, and families affected by the two fatal 737 MAX crashes.

One particularly alarming moment highlighted in the film is undercover footage inside a Dreamliner factory where factory workers discuss how they wouldn't fly on a 787. These are the people who make the airplane, according to Kennedy.

Boeing has responded to the claims made in the documentary, stating that the company had worked to address some of the issues raised and implemented new safety and quality measures since 2024.
