Boeing had known for years about a part on the MD-11 that could fail and cause an engine to break away, but didn’t consider it a major safety risk. That’s what the NTSB just revealed about the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville that killed Albuquerque pilot Lee Truitt and 14 others. Even though the MD-11 hasn’t flown passengers in years, it’s still been used for cargo by UPS and FedEx—until now. All MD-11s are grounded after this tragedy. It’s a tough reminder: how much trust do we put in companies to act on early warning signs? #Business #Industry #Boeing
