Some of the families of the Ethiopian crash victims welcomed the intense regulatory scrutiny on Boeing following January’s door plug blowout. Boeing’s production problems went beyond the design flaw that led to the crashes. Boeing continued to insist that the plane was safe, not only after the first crash but for days after the second crash. “Within days of the first crash, Boeing knew there was a design defect,” Robert Clifford, one of the plaintiff attorneys in the case, told CNN. They say the Alaska Air incident demonstrates the problems at Boeing go much deeper than the design issue that was fixed.
