Still reeling from a crisis involving its long-grounded Max jet, Boeing faces new questions after an earlier model of the 737 crashed Wednesday in Iran. Advertisement“This is a tragic event and our heartfelt thoughts are with the crew, passengers, and their families,” Boeing said. Boeing is still struggling with the crisis surrounding the Max, which was grounded last March after two crashes that killed 346 people. Investigators looking into the Max crashes have focused on the role played by a new flight control system that was not on the 737-800 that crashed near Tehran. If Boeing is blamed for Wednesday’s crash, “Boeing would survive; I’m not sure what form they would be in,” Waldock said.
