The (Overdue) Collapse of The Most Overhyped Airplane

This is the story of the Boeing 737 MAX: the corporate collapse that killed 346 people and made its shareholders richer while it did. Boeing didn't fall because it forgot how to build airplanes. It fell because it stopped being afraid of failing the passenger, and started being afraid of failing the shareholder. This is the full story of the 737 MAX. How a company that once refused to fly an airplane its engineers weren't sure of ended up selling one they knew was compromised. How MCAS was hidden from the pilots flying it. How Lion Air 610 and Ethiopian 302 killed 346 people five months apart. How the criminal fine came out to roughly half of one percent of what Boeing spent buying back its own stock. And how, five years later, a door plug landed in a Portland backyard because the bolts holding it in were never installed. The Boeing collapse isn't a story about one bad CEO. It's a story about what happens to any company when the scoreboard stops being the product and starts being the share price, and how you, the viewer, may be complicit in all of it. Power isn't built on the airplane. It's built on the people a company is afraid of failing. Sources and verification list in the pinned comment. If a claim in this video matters to you, check it yourself. Power is built. Ruin is earned. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📩 Power & Ruin Collapse Playbook Investigating 200+ Companies with Bonus Theranos Case File : → news.powerandruin.com/subscribe ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ About Power & Ruin Power & Ruin investigates the psychology behind companies, movements, and belief systems that reshaped the world, and why their collapse was inevitable.
