"Boeing's Deadly Design" looks at a big news story where two new Boeing 737 Max jets went out of control and crashed five months apart, killing 346 people. Boeing found problems with its software program known as MCAS. American Greed shows how it also could be because of a corporate culture that values shareholders profits over passenger safety. Competitive pressure, a flawed design, and problematic oversight of the Boeing jet led to the crashes after shortcuts were taken, and safety procedures were deleted. The essential software system known as MCAS was put into use without proper oversight, and without telling pilots what they need to know in the event of a problem.

Fine program

Fine show... Mr. Keach's varying degree of "mush mouth" is sad to hear. There are some sections
i.e. 10 min in (broadcast time). When the narrator struggles mightily. Other than that, you get the usual anti-capitalist slant on a story that exploits common human failures as a flaw of a particular economic system. That's all I have to say... I was always a big fan of Keach. It sounds like some of the narration was completed at the end of a long day or a long lunch. (If you know what I mean) What else? Looks like 2022 was the last season of American Experience at least according to the episode guide.
