Boeing’s Fall and the Cost of Oversight | Los Angeles News
Description
A gripping new documentary, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing, exposes a cascade of manufacturing failures, cover-ups, and regulatory failures that led to two deadly 737 Max crashes and over 300 deaths. Despite pledging to reform after the disasters, Boeing flunked its three-year probation with a mid-flight door plug failure in 2024 — another glaring safety lapse tied to outsourced parts. The film also shines a light on troubling conflicts of interest, like Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s reality show sponsored by companies his agency regulates, raising alarms about accountability. Featuring victims’ families, whistleblowers, and aviation experts, “Freefall” delivers a stark warning: without strong, independent oversight, corporate self-interest can’t be trusted to protect public safety — whether you’re flying or driving.
