Boeing knew of MAX issue for a year
Boeing failed to reveal an issue with the 737 MAX’s alert system for 13 months, reports The Wall Street Journal. In a new statement, the plane manufacturer admits it knew there was a problem with the cockpit safety alert but maintains the software issue “did not adversely impact airplane safety or operation.” Industry experts say Boeing only disclosed some information after the fatal October Lion Air crash, and then waited six weeks following a second deadly incident before disclosing the issue to the public and the FAA.

It is criminal that any organization would put financial gain above the lives of people that fly on the machines they manufacture. A very SAD day for Boeing and the US. The leaders of Boeing should be held accountable for the 300+ people that died on their 737s.
