The Infuriating Sundance Documentary Exposing Boeing’s Deadly 737 MAX Cover-Up

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing is a story about how a revered company compromised its reputation in five short months—except, however, that Rory Kennedy’s documentary argues that this process actually began years earlier, when Boeing, once the standard-bearer for airline safety, efficiency, reliability and performance, was purchased in 1997 by McDonnell Douglas.

While chronologically factual the author fails to include important information as, MCAS is covered in the QRH
and possibly the MEL. No mention of the subject aircraft arriving the evening before with a maintenance write up. No communication with Flight Ops on procedures (crew action) followed to get the aircraft under control or notes left by that crew. No clear understanding by maintenance of MCAS or if a maintenance course was even attended to prior to aircraft delivery. MCAS was a AOA generated action to reduce pitch up tendencies under high thrust settings in manual flight, not high speed. Any control/trim issue encountered requires two switches to be turned off…found on every B-737, taking less than 3 seconds after recognition. Boeing is definitely culpable but shared responsibility belongs to the aircraft lessor( who equipped the aircraft sparsely for lease), the airline for not disclosing the issue with the aircraft the night before. And the fact that the Ethiopian crew turned the faulty system back on because they could not manually trim at speeds in excess of 350 kts., something covered in ground and flight training at Boeing. Well, now it's a documentary to be included in every ground school class along with AA flight from Miami to Cali.
