Senate Report Faults FAA And Boeing For Failures In Review Of 737 Max
The scathing report alleged that the FAA retaliated against whistleblowers, and said Boeing officials improperly influenced the outcome of tests of the aircraft's faulty flight control system.
Senate investigators have heaped criticism on both Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration, finding a series of failures and improprieties during the review process that put the troubled Boeing 737 Max jetliner in the sky.
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation laid out the fatal missteps in a scathing report issued Friday.
"Our findings are troubling," the committee chairman, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said accompanying the report.
