Senators Urge Justice Department to Hold Boeing Executives Accountable for Safety Violations
Published On Oct 3, 2024, 2:39 PM
Two Democratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, have criticized the U.S. Justice Department for its lack of action against Boeing. They are calling for the prosecution of Boeing executives due to ongoing safety issues with the company's aircraft. Recent incidents, including an emergency safety alert about defects in the rudder control system of Boeing’s planes, highlight serious safety concerns. The senators argue that there is a culture at Boeing prioritizing profit over passenger safety, reflected in the company's frequent leadership changes and persistent safety problems.
