Financial Times with the scathing headline:
Boeing hid design flaws in Max jets from pilots and regulators
Congressional report into why two 737 aircraft crashed within months of each other finds aerospace group cut corners
and from the report:
“[The two crashes] were the horrific culmination of a series of faulty technical assumptions by Boeing’s engineers, a lack of transparency on the part of Boeing’s management, and grossly insufficient oversight by the [Federal Aviation Administration] — the pernicious result of regulatory capture on the part of the FAA with respect to its responsibilities to perform robust oversight of Boeing and to ensure the safety of the flying public.
