YESTERDAY CNN REPORTED THAT A FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTED A FORMER KEY EXECUTIVE OF BOEING FOR FRAUD.
THEY ALLEGED “HE DECEIVED THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION WHILE IT WAS FIRST CERTIFYING THE 737 MAX JET THAT WOULD GO ON TO HAVE TWO FATAL CRASHES CAUSED BY DESIGN FLAWS.”
“THE CHARGES WERE NOT AGAINST A TOP EXECUTIVE. INSTEAD, THEY WERE AGAINST MARK FORKNER, 49,
WHO WAS THE CHIEF TECHNICAL PILOT FOR BOEING DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR THE JET AND IS ACCUSED OF DECEIVING THE FAA DURING THAT PROCESS IN 2016 AND 2017.”
“FORKNER'S ATTORNEY DID NOT RESPOND TO A REQUEST FOR COMMENT, AND BOEING DECLINED TO COMMENT,” CNN SAID.
ACCORDING TO REUTERS, THE AIRPLANE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT “SOME TITANIUM 787 DREAMLINER PARTS WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS,
THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF PROBLEMS TO PLAGUE THE WIDE-BODY AIRCRAFT.”
