Boeing Continues to See Problems With Their Planes | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Boeing's year just went from bad to worse. The safety of its planes are being called into question after a series of incidents. An investigation is underway over the latest incident. Several passengers say they were thrown around the cabin on a flight traveling from Sydney to Auckland. People on board said the plane made a "violent drop" and it felt like going over the top of a roller coaster. LATAM Airlines said it was caused by a technical problem. Captain Shem Malmquist, visiting instructor at the Florida Institute of Technology and a Boeing 7-77 captain, joins to share what he thinks happened and how concerning it is. This is just one example of the problems Boeing has had recently. Earlier this year, a door plug on a 7-37 Max 9 plane blew out mid-flight. Just yesterday, the FAA announced they had found systemic problems at Boeing's manufacturing plant. The FAA warned the problems needed to be corrected by late May or they might be shut down. Malmquist discusses whether passengers should be worried if they are flying on a Boeing plane. With the delay in delivery of Boeing planes, Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines said they were revising capacity plans for this year and United said it would pause pilot hiring because of it. Malmquist explains what that means for passengers. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
