Ralph Nader’s niece died in one of the Boeing crashes. Now he’s calling for the 737 Max 8 to be grounded
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader has been a long time critic of the F.A.A. but, unfortunately, now it’s personal. Nader’s great niece was killed along with over 300 others in one of the two Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes in the past year. He joins “Squawk Box” by phone to discuss the investigation into the plane’s approval by the F.A.A. (www.cnbc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Article was written on March 22nd, however the aircraft had already been grounded a week! Pointless worthless article.
Just one more of a Famous Person showing their ignorance!
Ralph Nader's brain was grounded years ago!
It is a little odd that Nader hasn't said much jumps into the fray when one of his niece's was a victim of the crashes. Although he had been critical of the FAA till this point in time. I hope he doesn't muddle the investigation with only his point of view.
I'm thinking it went down something like this: Reporter, under pressure to develop some new angle on the story, looks through the passenger manifests and compares the names to a database list of celebrities and their kin. The reporter discovers one victim is the niece of none other than Ralph Nader himself and figures they have a fantastic new angle on the story to hang their byline on. After repeated calls and rebuffs, the reporter finally reaches The Man Himself and launches into a barrage of questions mostly tailored to making themselves look good and less tailored to gather any useful or pertinent information, is stopped by Mr. Nader who says, "You're intruding on my family during a time of sadness and grief, looking for some kind of quote? What do you expect my reaction to be? Of course, I agree with grounding them. Goodbye."

You are exceptionally arrogant. You don't know me and I hope I never will have to deal with your juvenile comments again. Mind your manners.
