The two air disasters of the Lion Air 610 and Etiophian Airlines flights could have been prevented. In the two tragedies, dated October 29, 2018 and March 10, 2019, respectively, 346 people lost their lives. Both of them accidents it wouldn’t have happened if the Boeing he had carried out the proper checks on his aircraft, without hiding the defects and committing a whole series of negligence that killed 346 people.
Today, at the end of a parliamentary investigation in the United States that lasted a year and a half, the final report of theinvestigation on the air disasters involving two Boeing 727s from the US aviation industry, a relationship that nails Boeing in its responsibilities.
In fact, in the 238-page documentation, the House Transportation Committee highlights all the mistakes made by the manufacturer. Mistakes that should have been avoided, if only there hadn’t been serious omissions it is expensive. The report says: “Boeing has failed in the design and in the development of the 737 Max and the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration did not supervise the Boeing or certify the aircraft “. And to follow: “The incidents, however, were the horrendous culmination of a series of flawed technical assumptions by Boeing engineers, a lack of transparency by Boeing management, and grossly insufficient oversight by the FAA.”.
The report is serious failures and errors in the design, development and certification of the 737 Max model, which entered commercial service in 2017 and stopped flying in March 2019, after the second accident in just five months. The survey shows – we still read – “repeated serious failures”, both from the company and the FAA and highlights that the production pressures “public safety in danger”.
It is also written that the financial pressure on Boeing by the 737 MAX program, in the race against the Airbus A320neo, led to cost reduction and acceleration of the program even if the conditions were not there.
In short, design defects, irregularities, silences and omissions, paid at a high price for 346 innocents. Boeing, for its part, returns the rebuild to the shipper, denying that it has defaulted and confirming instead that it has always made all the required changes, as well as that it has always performed periodic checks on its 737 Max fleet. in fact, he responded, claiming that he had taken all necessary countermeasures to be able to return the 737 Max safely to the air.
“These tragedy they should never have happened. We will take steps to make sure it never happens again. “, was the comment of the president of the parliamentary inquiry commission Peter De Fazio.
