Featured reviews
This was really an excellent documentary. It moves quickly and clearly and to the point. If you are part of the public that has to fly on a regular basis I would recommend you watch this, if you are a concerned citizen and tired of BIG BUSINESS controlling our world and our government you should watch this and even if you don't care about either you should watch this. They hit on all the points without getting muddy and boring. Points out clearly that as a human being you mean NOTHING to large corporations or the greedy people that run them and the FAA that one would think cares but really doesn't. The whistle blowers of this world should be hailed as the true rock stars of our society they deserve adulation and all the respect. Too bad $ is always the winner in our universe.
The story of the 737max is a definitely a cautionary tale for all manufacturer's to learn. Boeing got itself lost in a battle with Airbus and made tragic mistakes. Had this documentary focused solely on those mistakes and people who lost loved ones as result, it would have been a powerful and honest film. Unfortunately the director and producer couldn't help himself and let his leftist anti capitalism seep through. This isn't a failure of capitalism, but a failure of upper management to listen to their people and the failure of the FAA to provide oversight. This film is definitely worth watching, just a shame for what it could have been.....
Damages the sting against the culprits of this documentary, namely boeing and the FAA.because if these accidents hadnt happened, there wouldnt have been a topic making a documentary on. I do really cry with and for the victims because im one of those who actually are scared of flying an airplane and wants air safety to be top, therefore its deadly important that docu's like this is made and spread out to the world, and the top priority must be to tell us ...WHY????
Therefore i praise people like dominic gates et.co. Doing the knitwork, done with yarn delivered by edward pierson and others, risking their life and reputation and working carreers for all of us that has to fly once in a while, saving thousands of lifes from future crashes and failures when airplanes are produced and assembled according to the new norm of work management, save a screw or save every second rivet in the fuselage to save a buck, thank you ,thank you, thank you for doing this.
The most practical solutions to the mcas issue, must be one or both out of 2 options, that boeing turn and gives real time flightsimulator training to the airlines using any type of boeing machines, and that especially that FAA sets as an absolute minimum demand that simulator training is given anyhow and regularly(per year /every 2nd year etc) to all and everybody that shall steer/manouver new aircraft models and it forthcoming variants. So lets all hope that these issues will be taken care of, as well as i blame the corrupt lobbyists in the governmental corridors of washington. Flight safety costs more than a life is worth, do take the consequence and responsibility now...
A must see docu, says the grumpy old man if youre a novice in the trade, couldve been far more technically advanced on the flying issues.

Never seen the other side of Boeing until these 2 crashes and this documentary takes you on a ride with the people who showed the other side of Boeing and the FAA with so much depth. These people really bought justice if not full justice to the victim's families. The main culprit's are the CEO FAA and the Senior managers who managed to escape. I hope Boeing and FAA has learned from their mistakes and prevent this incident in the future. Being an Avgeek I never thought Boeing will go for such an extent for Profits at the cost of 346 innocent lives. This documentary really shows the pain of the victim's families. The Best Documentary I've ever seen hand's down.
Boeing is one of those "too big to fail" or "too big to be held accountable" companies impart thanks to the total ineptitude of the FAA.
Not a single person fired or punished? Both of them operate much like the law enforcement in America.... they regulate and investigate themselves - with no serious oversight to hold them accountable.
Extremely informative and distressing documentary. By the end I was left with the complete certainty that this will happen again and again.
A highlight of the documentary is watching the lawyers for the families relentlessly championing for them. The Seattle reporter who didn't stop till the truth is uncovered. And the young woman in the UK who lost her father. She handles her grief with such strength and grace.
My disappointment with Boeing and FAA is slightly less maddening knowing there are people out there that are still honest, ethical and are doing what's RIGHT instead of what they want.
