Senator calls out Boeing, FAA after midflight panic, whistleblower suicide
Fox News
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley calls out Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration as safety concerns soar following 737 Max incidents, whistleblower claims.
Grassley pointed to what he called a "history of aircraft disasters" involving Boeing jets going back to the explosion of TWA Flight 800 in 1996 and including Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, where a Boeing 737 Max craft lost a door panel at 16,000 feet in January. Eight people suffered minor injuries.
"Had this happened at cruising altitude the results might have been catastrophic," Grassley wrote in a letter to outgoing Boeing CEO David Calhoun.
