The first show that's ever compelled me to write an IMDB review
Where do I begin? I've rarely watched a documentary that made me feel so angry. All I could think about how the love of money and greed allowed those Boeing people to choose profits over humanity. Money stole away their consciences. Greed caused them to not give a hoot about lives that were lost. Lives that continued to be in danger. They should have taken way more safety measures than what they did. I'm shocked no Boeing executive got fired for their atrocities. I hurt for the families. I wonder how people like Boeing folk can live with themselves. I'll never look at air travel the same. I do not trust folk who claim "Safety is our number one priority." Lies! Profit is their number one priority even if lives are lost. Anyway great documentary. A MUST SEE. - cjonesas - 24 April 2022
[7.5] One, two, three sensors (of the same purpose) - Which number is right for Boeing?!
A good documentary, semi-comprehensive, which could have been done much better as a two-episode one, each of around 90 minutes. The first highlighting and explaining in details all the technicalities, Boeing history since the 1950s together with full details of the incidents; while, the second part would have delved into the trial, its angles and various investigative corners.
As it is, it lacks (comprehensive) details as it should be, in both mentioned "fields", resulting in an unneat and semi-detailed picturing of all that wanted to be shown and explained.
Nevertheless, it's better than nothing and an eye-opener on the 1996-onward Boeing Co. And its 737 MAX fuel-efficient but (still) not-so-reliable airplane.
