The head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday that investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 Max 9 door plug involved in the 5 January Alaska Airlines midair emergency and that video footage was overwritten.
The NTSB’s chair, Jennifer Homendy, said in a letter to senators that investigators sought security camera footage when the door plug was opened and closed in September but were informed the material was overwritten. “The absence of those records will complicate the NTSB’s investigation moving forward,” she said.
The NTSB said previously that four key bolts were missing from the door plug that blew out on the plane.
Just arrest the boeing board already. They’ve shown that they won’t learn without force.
I'm pretty sure that would be a massive due process violation. Don't get me wrong, I'd happily violate the board, but cutting corners like that would torpedo the prosecution's case. A mistrial or an acquittal resulting from prosecution's fuck-up would probably be the worst outcome -- after all, that's the reason Cosby is a free man now.
I’m sure whistleblowers would come forward… if they weren’t mysteriously killing themselves in the middle of depositions.
I'm sure the CCTV will turn up in a hotel car park soon enough.
"Oh no. The CCTV was destroyed by self inflicted injury"

The solution is simple. We need to nationalize Boeing. Profit chasing and shareholders are what turned Boeing to what it is today.
As much as I would like to see a drastic solution for Boeing, America also has a very poor track of nationalization outcomes. Everything the government touches becomes bloated and inefficient. Best solution would be for Boeing board of directors and the C-level executives to be entirely replaced or just let Boeing die a slow death under litigations.
That's not true. And even if it was it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Sorry no, that's just right wing 'guvmnint bad' rhetoric.
Every study shows it.
Last I heard the video died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound the day it was needed as evidence in a trial.
The video was overwritten? In that case, I expect Boeing to offer a stock buyback.
Guys I have material evidence of Boeings misdeeds. Unfortunately I killed myself next week with two to the back of the head.
It kinda sounds like the NTSB is looking for a fall guy rather than tackling the systemic issues over at Boeing.
