How Trump let Boeing off the hook for the 737 MAX crashes
The article discusses how former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration let Boeing off the hook for the 737 MAX crashes. The Department of Justice had charged Boeing with conspiracy to defraud the government about the MCAS software, which was linked to the deaths of 346 people in two crashes. However, the article states that the end result of the five-year litigation can only be described as a victory for Boeing, as a federal judge in Texas has scheduled what will likely be the final hearing in the case. This is seen as a permanent setback for those who hoped that the company would be held accountable for a decade of safety violations. The article suggests that the Trump administration's actions have allowed Boeing to avoid significant consequences for its role in the 737 MAX disasters.
