Boeing - what caused the 737 Max to crash? | DW Documentary 

How can you use SOFTWARE fix HARDWARE problem? Good luck with the MCAS 2.0. 🔴 *The Engines are still dragging on the FLOOR!!* It's aerodynamically unstable whose nose keeps on pushes up and require software constantly to keep it down. The 60 year-old physical structure still unchanged!! How can you use SOFTWARE fix HARDWARE problem - they still use MCAS. Now 2.0 - To save money!! Collusion between FAA and profit of the self-certified Boeing has no bound.

I won't be in a rush to get on one ,gone are the days of "if it ain't Boeing,I ain't going"

I cannot understand people willing to board machine corrected with autonomic software solution proved to be fatally flawed in the dark past of 737MAX. New and big and powerful engines mounted on 60years old airframe, insufficient amount of sensors, very poor quality control and overall low quality of the final product with F.O.D and other trash and tools, rugs and hidden junk, left and forgotten in the bodies of the MAXimum failure. *You cannot put modern F1 engine to 1964 Pontiac GTO with serious manufacturing issues* *:D* *Does not look safe to me in any way* :) It is strong *NO* from me In my personal opinion MAX will always be a fatally flawed aircraft patched with ad-hoc fixes and walkaround solutions where due to hideous and ruthless corporate desire to enrich and increase profits, 345 people died. I just read that Canada is not going to follow FAA and they will not certifie the MAX for now. They will focus on their own assessment. I don't blame them :D EASA same. They will eventually approve MAX accordingly to their own assessment. *FAA said that MAX is safe already 2years ago* ...

@@user-qw4jy1oy9r Many people do not know what Max is or what boeing or airbus is, They want to cut cost on their trips. Not all are aviation enthusiasts. My parents do no even know that two Max's Crashed until I said them. So these people will board 737 Max

One should never take legal matters such as this into their own hands, but I can certainly understand the temptation. Anyone involved in allowing these aircraft to be certified and fly, from engineers to executives, should be tried for premeditated murder. Boeing and the FAA knew the MCAS software was an issue, yet chose profits over passengers lives. To me, that is murder.

Sorry to say when you fly high with no parachute you will crash hard on your ass. Live with it or do not fly Period . Boeing makes great airplanes better than Europe's Bus or Russian . Chinese .

@@praveensingha3040- "Boeing makes great airplanes better than Europe's..." All planes have their own strengths. Are you saying that Boeing's planes are generally better than those of Airbus? If so, what do you base that on? II read somewhere that in the aviation industry Airbus' planes are nowadays considered to be of better quality, but they are also more expensive.

Guess what ? Another boeing crashed just a week ago. A 737.

@@viktorreznov1548 That was *not* a max And a very reliable 737-800. It was grounded because of an error earlier that day and that's what caused it probably

Makes me sick knowing Boeing tried to blame those crashes on poor training and pilot error. I mean, yeah, that poor training was an iPad course that didn't qualify anyone to fly that plane. The Lion Air pilot, albeit too late, allegedly managed to take control during the final moments. And the Ethiopian Pilots were trying to read and follow a checklist while they were moments from smashing into the Earth. That's ridiculous! And the damn checklist never accounted for MCAS kicking in every 10 seconds. Only accounted for it happening once. People believed Boeing calling it poor training on Lion Air's part. But when Ethiopian Airlines, which is a pretty safe airline, crashed in a similar way with their pilots' knowledge of MCAS, and the checklist hadn't worked, people began to realize Boeing had more to do with this than they thought

Plane crashes are investigated very thoroughly so it is unlikely a pilot error is anything else but. Actually most crashes are human error which is why all this automation exists. But there is no excuse rushing to market without proper testing and certification. And using one sensor is the stupidest idea Boeing ever had. Unless you consider NOT telling the pilots about MCAS. Not sure which one is dumber.

Americans should stick to making trucks.

Im sure The whole ride was insane

And the g force

@@dewaputra4842 Oh, man. Awful.

Yes, it is even not possible to imagine the terror of the people on board of the flight knowing what's about to happen to them. Majority of these accidents are a result of a greedy industry, from aircraft manufacturers, airlines to regulatory bodies. Yet, most of the time they manage to find an easy scapegoat to blame, that is the piloting crew.

Im never relaxed on a plane 😩

@@JayJayAviation lol on another video you are kinda defending boeing stating it was result of human error . Nothing to do with boeing , and someone asked you to go watch the Netflix movie but you didn’t and continue arguing with them .

@@donttellmejustlisten4598 I said that human error was a factor in the Ethiopian crash. I’ve seen the documentary and it doesn’t tell some information to support the argument against Boeing.

They blamed Foreigner Pilots. As the CEO said. If they were American Pilots they would have never crashed. When the next plane that was fixing to crash. Just happened to realize what was going on...And landed one. He said he would never get on that plane again... It tried to kill us all....

If Boeing did that.. the lawyers would be lining up

Sorry for your loss :( I believe it's not Lion's fault, airlines and pilots were not aware of mcas ;/ I really don't understand why boieing didn't take responsibility to speak up and apologize for their fault..

My condolences.

Very sorry for your loss. The guilty here is the FAA for not over seeing Boeing. Your family should join a class action law suit and the culture at Boeing has to change.

Your comment gave me tears. I hope your dear mother is in a good place in heaven.

Sue them! Really, use the justice system. It will not reduce your pain but will cause real pain to these companies. Don't use the US legal system because there even if you win you'll have to pay the legal fees - something that usually does not exist in most countries (losers pay all the fees).

U nailed it. Self Regulation does not work.

Also the reason why I don't believe in many ads -- those marketing bull craps!

It was extraordinary and epic when senator Ted Cruz roasted Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg. Yet this criminal walked away from Boeing with almost 80 USD millions of compensation. In China this inept and corrupt CEO would've been sent to the firing wall for good.

this comes from a Boeing CEO who´s only ability is to boss people around. Everything else he probably just inherited. People who have the capability to build up a company like that themselves... usually have strong morals also.

Yup, airlines are greedy, boeing didnt do it

And no doubt that didn't happen by accident - someone at Boeing decided to make it happen.

I bet Boeing paid a Dutch company to go out of business that probably that company is running things like Toyota.

Capitalism baby!

Corporate greed is what hired “engineers” to make the MAX.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I agree

I'm relieved that my last vacation, the airline used an A319 even though 95% of their fleet is all Boeing. It was NOT reassuring to hear that the route I flew (DFW/MCO) is frequently covered by the 737. The flight I took there before the A319 flight was on a 737.

I agree! Boeing is so riled by Airbus that they will cut any corners they can to be first or get ahead of Airbus- even when they shouldn't or it can cost lives! Even their move to the Carolinas! Someone asked one of the supervisors if he would fly a plane built in that plant and he said NO! AND HE WORKS THERE!

There was a problem with an A320 so the software engineer was called to look at the issue. When examining the software he was heard to say _I didn't know it did that!_ If the software expert doesn't know what the software can do then what the hell chance does the pilot have. Also, the software is designed to *stop* the pilot over stressing the aircraft. That means in an emergency the pilot *cannot* over stress the machine while they try and save to lives of the passengers. Instead the software says *no,* I will not let you do that. I must save the machine from some damage even if the humans have to die. After all the scrutiny Boeing has undergone, I would rather fly on their machines than the software driven Airbus tree mowers. Just look at what Airbus/Air France did to that highly experience Airbus pilot over AF296. Airbus and Boeing are both bloody dishonest companies just like the automotive ones who find t cheaper to pay out on wrongful deaths instead of spending money to actually fix the problem.

Agreed

Capitalism is a system build on majority never win/become success. That is the face of American dream

Actually it was an oversight has nothing to do with corporate greed

@@techhelpportal7778 I'm pretty damn sure that editing the aircraft controls software to compensate for the changed flight characteristics due to the new engines, and adding new operational parameters is okay. However keeping the agreement with the customers that the MAX didn't need any additional crew training over the previous 737s (gattaca save that dollar), is where we start to see the faults. The crews of the crashed planes reacted to the seemingly abnormal behaviour of the new plane. The plane new what it was doing but the pilots compromised it due to not knowing how the new feature set worked. If the MAX required any additional training, the customer airlines would rather go buy Airbus's new Neo range. Airbus unlike Boeing expected larger diameter engines to hit the market sooner or later. That's why the sizes that now exist in the Neo range always had longer landing gear than necessary, while 737 had their low bypass engines almost licking the ground (this matters because the engineers was forced to push the engines up and forward, an unideal placement). Boeing didn't have time to develop and FAA certify everything the engineers would've liked to make things work properly. Why? It's because many high rankings in Boeing were to be given massive bonus checks if they made the deadline set by the preordering carriers and got the sales. In addition Wall Street has been pushing Boeing lately as Boeing was very been profitable for them earlier in the century, and wanted to continue the trend. And what did they accomplish? Every thing went to shit. Small carriers in especially developing countries that needed the reliability and low fuel expenses went to shit. Trust in the industry went to shit. Trust in FAA (which apparently was bribed by Boeing to play this game) went to shit. Boeing's reputation has an almost unhealable gash in it. Lastly, some 500 lives were lost in the conundrum. 500 lives lost in order for people that's already doing very well in life to earn another big bonus check. I don't think that money tasted so succulent when the news started rolling in...

SAD BUT TRUE. IMHO, UNLESS AND UNTIL BOEING AND THE FAA CONDUCT A BOEING 737MAX WIND TUNNEL TEST TO PROVE OR DENY MY THEORY, BEFORE THE 737MAX IS RE-CERTIFIED TO RETURN TO SERVICE, I BELIEVE THIS AIRCRAFT WILL CRASH AGAIN, WITH THE RESULT THAT THE FAA AND BOEING WILL SUFFER A WORLDWIDE LOSS OF CONFIDENCE, WHICH WILL TARNISH BOTH OF THEIR REPUTATIONS FOR MORE THAN A GENERATION. BOEING STOCK MIGHT POSSIBLY FALL TO ZERO. ANOTHER CRASH -- AFTER FAA RECERTIFICATION -- WILL CAUSE THIS CATASTROPHE! CAN BOEING SURVIVE ANOTHER CRASH? CAN AMERICA???

Hi Eugene: isn’t it strange, we have business men with no technical expertise whatsoever running engineering companies, but people would be outraged if engineers were running banks and finance companies. .... ..... what is more important to life and limb? ....... ...... i’m pretty sure engineers would do a better job running the banks too, by the way. ...... my experience as an engineer with the MBA class, and I have a lot of experience with them, is that they are of a morally and intellectually lower standard. A lot of these people wouldn’t have even qualified for a college education 70 years ago. And now they run the world.

Engineers tend to make everything better but better almost always mean more cost(less profit!)... Banks stake holders will not like that!

SADLY, the Boeing Board of Directors relied on CEO Dennis Mullenburg, a graduate Aeronautical Engineer with excellent credentials, to maintain Boeing's dominance and success; reportedly, Dennis became enamored with his Boeing stock portfolio and the profits he was making by pushing the 737MAX deadlines to bring it to market before its rival -- the Airbus A320 with the bigger, fuel-efficient engines; but those engines would not fit under the Boeing 737MAX Wing, so Dennis approved an ILLEGAL MODIFICATION OF ITS ENGINE MOUNTS, MOVING THE ENGINES UPWARD BY FIVE INCHES, WITHOUT REQUIRED FAA APPROVAL OF A SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE. So the Board fired Mullenburg at the end of 2019; although he was forced to surrender his Boeing stock, HE WAS STILL REWARDED FOR HIS FAILURE WITH A "GOLDEN PARACHUTE" OF $62 MILLION DOLLARS!

hyou zan ren I am an engineer, and I’ve done a lot of design and research, and I can assure you that the real engineers are focused on both quality and cost.

Hi @Sebastian Muñiz, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Stay tuned! Best, The DW Documentary Team

Truly shocking and appalling.

Dear Metallica: this is what galls me, The CEO in charge when this tragedy occurred get away with a giant fortune, 346 innocent souls are dead, and thousands of loved ones have a life of sorrow ahead of them. He should give most of his money to the victims. He would still be a rich man if he did that, Richer than all but a few people on this planet.

Disgusting, name and shame the person who thinks his money is more important than someones family member.

The courts are even more disgusting. They will endorse this spending by Boeing on its errant CEO but consider that the victims lives are worth much less than the failed CEO’s parting gift.

Sombitch should be arrested and held on $60M bail!

I hate Boeing

There's a good program in the Australia's 60 minutes, very well explained by an experienced pilot, we're humans, we can't bring the plane to the control it's because the computer is putting down the plane every time

Agreed! See my comment above and do some research on the labeling, function, and recommended pilot procedures for dealing with runaway trim problems, through the use of the 2 "STAB TRIM CUTOUT" switches.

I remember that too, Boeing ought to go the way of mc Donald Douglas

The very fact that the system could not be overwritten as it was designed to be is clear evidence we haven't been told everything there is to know from this story. Developing conclusions when all the facts are unknown to us is foolishness. What we know is that there were technological failures, the causes of those failures and whom to blame are the real questions. Do any of us really believe a plane designer would build a plane with no redundancy for the failure of a single aot sensor? Or that mcas would somehow develop an additional bug which prevented pilots from disabling it precisely during the moment when that very system needed to be disabled? There is clearly more to the story than has been released. Edit: *aoa sensor

So the hard landings aren't a dealbreaker for u huh 😂

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback!

I watched that too and also the episode from 60 minutes australia about the same topic. Pretty bizarre how they did'nt ground the 737 max after the first crash and they knew mcas could cause disaster. Family members of those who died even suggested them to ground the planes but all they thought about was making profit and they didnt really seem to care about safety. They even tried to blame the pilots while it was a software issue and they didnt even inform the pilots about the new system nor did they feel the need to train them. With the second crash, the pilots were aware of the system and disabled it but still it reconnected and took the plane down and nothing they could do. As you could see in the flight simulators the system would have a mind of its own. Must have been terrifying for the pilots , flight crew and all the passengers that died in both crashes. Can't even imagine how their last moments must have been like on both occassions. It's infuriating to learn that both disasters and all deaths could have been avoided. RIP to all victims and strenght to all family and friends that lost their loved ones on both crashes. 346 lives lost....

For me I was from PBS - Boeing's Fatal Flaw and then transitioned to this one. Both are good! I've yet to watch Netflix's documentary about it but I expect it to be great as well.

Could you link to where boeing stated this? I understand that was the general thought spreading at this time by many, I just don't recall the company stating that.

The audacity when Lion Air is the largest single buyer of Boeing 737 max. They don’t respect their customers at all.

@@rickyhall7514 He is not going to answer you, because the company would never say something so stupid. I'm not saying they did not think that was the case, but they never said it. Instead of blaming all of this on Boeing, I think people should ask how was it possible it made it through all the stringent testing? Obviously the pilots were not the best. They clearly contributed to the problem. How much?.. is hard to say

But they're flying their first-world jets with professional pilots in those countries. He can hardly blame them for that, it was corner cutting.

And to think that Ethiopia Airline probably ranks higher than most US Airliners in terms of safety record

Wrong! The engine airframe combination does work just fine. The 737 Max doesn’t need MCAS to be safe to fly- it is to make it feel like the older 737’s.

@Honesty First you know trump isn't the only one in government and he doesn't completely control the faa stop blaming everything on trump and capitalism

@@FutureSystem738 Thank you!

According to 20/20, the engine not being designed for the airframe created a flaw where the plane would tip upwards. The MCAS, in theory, was supposed to correct that flaw by automatically tipping the plane safely back down. The flaw the MCAS was supposed to fix was not necessarily a fatal one and perhaps the pilots would've been able to tip the nose down safely but it was an obvious design flaw nevertheless. So Boeing already had a major design flaw, but rather than starting from scratch and correct this design flaw, they decided to cut corners and create a software that was supposed to correct that design flaw. A software that was so badly designed, it carried fatal risk. So Boeing created a design flaw, went ahead with it, created a software to window dress that design flaw, and badly designed the software meant to correct the lazy design flaw to where the software created fatal risk. And at no point did the higher ups just try to fix any of the issues that were brought up with what they created, they basically just put "tape" over everything and didn't realize, or care, they were putting human lives on the line.

The defective software (only used one of two sensors for detecting the angle of the aircraft and ignored pilot correcting it) was put in because the larger more fuel efficient engines put on a low landing gear 1960s aircraft required special mounting and caused the plane to pitch up on occasion.

@@mrsx7944 actually no Engineers at Boeing wanted more time and money to create the MAX to invest more into fixing the MCAS before it's Certification during 2013 but everytime they where either shut up or threatened by the Hegheir Ups of Boeing if they had just let the Engineers do the damn job all of this would not have happened plus the Engineers at Boeing's Puget Sound Plant were moved to Renton because they were "spending too much" according to a Boeing Whistleblower Engineer at Puget Sound and the MCAS to save cost was made by a 3rd Party Manafacturer from India to get great deals with Indian Investors once the Max came out have some Sympathy for the Engineers of the MAX the plane never had a pitch up issue and if it did it would only be slight the MAX without MCAS is safe but it was added to make the MAX handle similarly to the 737NG to once again "save costs" I think we can see a pattern in the MAX disaster they Cut way too many Corners and they loose $9,000,000,000 in the Process

Ameircan.. they covered each other ass....i can guess what they thinking they had concept and for prolem so just add on more system.. and start selling.. next thing they know.. there are no going back for them..

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

How about not prying (like that ever has done anything in the history of forever) and push this issue to anyone that can make a diffrence.

@@Hex-Mas I don't really understand your comment? It seems like you ARE attacking me. All I did was to mention condolences to those who lost their lives.

When CEO's/management start being sent to prision, then business will act responsible again.

Don't be rediculous. Insurance companies don't loose money. When claims exceed planned what they budgeted, they just raise the rates. If they don't they aren't going to be around for very long. So, it's going to bite Boeing in the ass anyway, even if they are self insured.

I want to see the son of Akio Toyoda dies in a Boeing 737 MAX when the MAX crashes in Japan. Even tough Akio Toyoda is the CEO and owner of Toyota but their is one thing that Boeing has done in 1996. Back in 1996 Boeing paid a Dutch airplane company to go out of business because that Dutch airplane company was running their business like Toyota runs it’s business that was the reason why. The name of the company was Fokker. So for this I bet someone related to Anthony Fokker lives in Japan and he is probably dating the daughter of Akio Toyoda on what will happen if the son of Akio Toyoda dies in a Boeing 737 MAX to see if Toyota brings back the Fokker name. So what will happened to Boeing after the son of Akio Toyoda dies in a Boeing 737 MAX after they find out that Boeing paid lobbyist to put a Dutch airplane company to go out of business because that company was running their business like Toyota runs it’s business?

The last thing the engineers forgot was that the boeing 737 flight computers thinking that the plane was going to stall even at a decent and good speed. The computers were like dive dive dive.

Wrong engine on the wrong airframe....? I agree Nico.

Has nothing to do with greed

Its not wrong, planes are fly by wire because many require it now. Stealth planes and fighters were deliberately made or inherently unstable. They failed by not disclosing the requirement for more training.

HEY, speak for yourself. Some of us still give a hoot. But we lost control of having a say into what is done.

Read "Catch-22" - the mechanism is shown very clearly.

Has nothing to do with greed

with cov19.. it jus kill the plane... since long flight was low to the point noone fly it..

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to avoid it once they allow it to fly again

They’ll be safer than ever once this is over.

@@FutureSystem738 what about the 787 Dreamliner?

Then never drive either

I saw that in review, as Boeing likes to butts in a lot as what Boeing has done back in 1996 is that they paid money to a company based in The Netherlands to go out of business because that Dutch airplane company are running their business similar to Toyota runs it’s business that is the reason why.

you might wanna point your buddy to the flaws and shoddy work going into the 787 before hes a headline on a doomed plane

And your point is? China destroys its own environment, allows toxic chemicals in its water courses, what about the baby formula scandal. They are just as bad

How about Chinese pumping water in meat to make it heavier so they can charge you for more. A specific store in my town soaks ginger in water to keep it plump so it looks 'fresh'. My mom worked with the sister of the owner and that's how we know.

@@feh7854 America went thru that stage already. China will improve.

It is the center of lift moving forward that is the problem, not the center of gravity. R

@@RalphEllis yeap

The wing is overloaded from decades of add-ons. 62% increase in takeoff weight, 25% increase in wing area. The new engines MUST run at full thrust because they need airspeed to generate enough lift.

It is though modern airplanes are very complicated yet safe machines

Right? Those planes should have never flown period!
