Boeing has been making headlines due to a series of incidents and revelations that have raised concerns about the safety and quality of its aircraft. Reports of emergency slides falling off planes, failed landings, and allegations of assembly defects have put the aerospace giant under intense scrutiny. Testimonies from employees and engineers have highlighted issues with the company's safety culture and manufacturing processes, leading to investigations by federal aviation authorities and calls for accountability from Congress and regulators.
