The FBI is involved in the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into the certification of the Boeing 737 MAX, according to a Wednesday Seattle Times report.
The FBI’s Seattle field office is close to the 737 plant and the Federal Aviation Administration offices, where officials partook in the certification process for the planes, two of which crashed in recent months.
Criminal investigations into the aviation industry are exceedingly rare in America and point to the seriousness of the fatal and well-publicized accidents.
Given the level of corruption and pay to play in every other segment of this administration, it seems reasonable that here, too, we will find fraud and a lack of concern for the actual mission of the FAA.
Criminal indeed . A bad sensor crashes the plane and the pilots lack the basic instruction that if it screws up JUST TURN THE AUTOPILOT OFF!!!
Even worse the Lion Air plane did it the day before and the plane was still in service
A confluence of incompetence and criminal behavior
Sigh … seems like only yesterday Trump was taking credit for zero commercial aviation deaths:
“Criminal investigations into the aviation industry are exceedingly rare in America and point to the seriousness of the fatal and well-publicized accidents.”
This more than an investigation into aviation industry, but an investigation into the FAA itself for not doing what it was supposed to do. Apparently the the FAA allowed Boeing to certify its own aircraft.
Regulatory Capture at its finest.
