House Report on 737 Max Crashes
CAMEROTA: This morning, a just released congressional report of an 18 month investigation slams Boeing and the FAA over two fatal crashes involving Boeing's troubled 737 Max jets. CNN's Pete Muntean is live in Washington with the details. What does it say, Pete?</s>PETE MUNTEAN, CNN AVIATION CORRESPONDENT: So many new details in this new report. Alisyn. What's so interesting is that it doesn't focus much on the actions of the pilot leading up to those two 737 Max disasters, but rather in the years before at Boeing and the FAA. What is so interesting here, that's one quote, more than 250 pages in this report. It says that there was a disturbing pattern of technical miscalculations and troubling management misjudgments made by Boeing. It also illuminates serious oversight lapses and accountability gaps at the FAA. This report details two instances, one, a pilot at Boeing, a test pilot, in a simulator, struggling for more than ten seconds with the MCAS system. That's the system that's been at the heart of all of these investigations with catastrophic results. Also, e-mail exchanges between Boeing engineers where they tried to downplay the significance of that system, essentially trying to get it considered as part of an existing system rather than a new one in order to avoid additional scrutiny by the FAA. Now, Sonya Stumo (ph) was 24-year-olds when she died in one of those crashes. I spoke to her father and he says that Boeing and the FAA failed.</s>MICHAEL STUMO, FATHER OF CRASH VICTIM: They're still hitting the ball, like they did before, like they did between the crashes when they kept the plane in the air when they knew the thing was a killer plane. Between the Lion Air crash and the Ethiopian crash that killed my daughter.</s>MUNTEAN: Now, Boeing continues to stand by its design. It says that one of the</s>CAMEROTA: Pete Muntean, thank you very much for explaining all of that. We've been awaiting for some results from that investigation. All right, you're about to meet a teenager who is solving a societal problem that adults have wrestled with for decades. "Champions for Change" is next.
