The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings. A U.S. House investigative report into two Boeing 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people blamed the plane manufacturer and the Federal Aviation Administration for “repeated and serious failures." Boeing said in a statement after the report's release that it is “dedicated to doing the work” necessary. The report claims that Boeing made “extensive efforts to cut costs” due to financial pressure and refused to slow its 737 Max production line, jeopardizing safety. It also alleges that Boeing withheld “crucial information” from the FAA, and that the federal agency's regulation of the airline was hurt by its current oversight structure with respect to Boeing, which "creates inherent conflicts of interest.”
