[WHY is Boeing Facing CRIMINAL Charges 2024].
Boeing is facing criminal charges primarily due to issues related to its 737 MAX aircraft, which was involved in two catastrophic crashes in 2018 and 2019. These accidents, Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, resulted in the tragic loss of 346 lives. Investigations revealed significant failures in the aircraft’s design, certification process, and the company’s handling of safety concerns. Here’s a breakdown:
Faulty MCAS System: The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a new software feature, was identified as a contributing factor in both crashes. The system, designed to prevent stalls, could activate erroneously, forcing the plane into nosedives.
Corporate Negligence and Profit-Driven Decisions: Reports and investigations have suggested that Boeing prioritized speed and cost-efficiency over safety in the development of the 737 MAX. Internal communications revealed a culture that downplayed safety concerns.
Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA): In 2021, Boeing entered into a $2.5 billion settlement under a DPA with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve fraud charges. However, the agreement has faced criticism from victims’ families for being lenient.
