## Resource

Apr 6, 2024 09:44 Boeing takes a nosedive Boeing has been in the news a lot lately, and none of it has been good. We’re not talking just about one of the company’s 737-Max jets crashing and killing everybody on board – there are other issues. In one case, part of the fuselage broke off a plane in mid-flight, creating a gaping hole in the side that nearly sucked out a 17-year-old passenger. In another case, a tire fell off a Boeing plane during take-off, destroying a car in the airport parking lot. In yet another, an external panel fell off mid-flight and nobody even noticed it until the plane landed. And in the midst of all this, a Boeing whistleblower providing testimony on safety issues committed suicide. John Kiriakou speaks with Jamie Finch, former National Transportation Safety Board Official, about how Boeing is taking a nosedive.
