The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued a scathing report citing multiple systemic failuresthat led to the midair blowout involving a Boeing 737 MAX in 2024. The report faults both Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for inadequate oversight, flawed procedures, and lapses in safety compliance.
