The Corporate Suicide of Boeing (It Wasn't An Accident)

Описание: How did the company that built the 747—and literally taught the world to fly—end up with door plugs blowing off at 16,000 feet?

In this documentary, we go beyond the headlines to expose the 30-year corporate "murder-suicide" that turned Boeing from a sanctuary of engineering into a financialized machine run by "Hunter-Killer" accountants. From the legendary barrel roll of the Dash 80 to the tragic crashes of the 737 MAX, we trace the exact moment the culture broke.

We uncover the shocking stories of the whistleblowers who tried to save the company: Ed Pierson, who warned the factory was in chaos before the MAX crashes; Sam Salehpour, who witnessed workers jumping on fuselage parts like "Tarzan" to make them fit; and John Barnett, who was found dead while testifying about the safety defects he found.

This is the autopsy of an American icon.
