After the two Boeing plane crashes in 2018 and 2019, which caused the death of 346 people, an investigative report from the US Congress establishes the multiple dysfunctions and points to the catastrophic management of the American aircraft manufacturer.

Two tragic crashes, 346 dead.

Could the two Boeing 737 Max crashes have been avoided?

After 18 months of investigation, the United States Congress report is damning.

The latter comes down to saying one thing: what killed those 346 passengers and crew was the rivalry with Airbus.

The two aircraft manufacturers were engaged in a speed race.

Airbus had taken the lead with its A320 neo, its best-selling aircraft.

For Boeing, it was therefore necessary at all costs to market as quickly as possible the competing aircraft, the 737 Max.

And that's what caused the fatal gear.

To get the plane certified faster, the report says, Boeing withheld key data from supervisory authorities and even pilots on how its anti-stall system was operating, which caused the two crashes.

Boeing in particular concealed that in the event of an erroneous triggering of this system, which happened, the pilot had less than 10 seconds to react, without which the consequences could be "catastrophic".

In fact, the disaster film had been perfectly planned by Boeing.

This is what is chilling.

But the investigation goes a step further: investigating Boeing is in a way investigating the American deep state.

We can see, through this report, to what extent the FAA, that is to say the federal administration which supervises aviation, is infiltrated by the industry.

The line between the interests of Boeing, which is both a civilian and military group, and the US state is porous.

As a result, the supervisory authority is not able to properly play its role.

The report questions the ability of the FAA to exercise serious control over Boeing and denounces its "gross inadequacy".

Since the crashes of 2018 and 2019, the scandal has beheaded Boeing and the supervisory authority has been reformed, but this is perhaps the most disturbing conclusion of this report: Congress believes that the US sky constable does not has not learned all the lessons from this case.

That it still needs to undergo in-depth reform to be able to seriously and independently assess the quality and safety of a new aircraft.

Clearly, there is always a risk of conflict of interest between the American aviation industry and its supervisory authority.

However, this supervisory authority, precisely, is currently testing the new version of the 737 Max to allow it soon to embark passengers again.
