The Foundation for Aviation Safety, founded by Ed Pierson,
a former Boeing 737 factory manager turned whistleblower,
has renewed its calls for investigators to review production processes at
Boeing’s Renton facilities in the context of the two fatal 737 MAX cгashes.
Withholding Critical Evidence
In a statement, the Foundation for Aviation Safety alleged that
Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board
has been facing mounting criticism for refusing to share newly uncovered
evidence of manufacturing defects connected to the two fatal 737 MAX
cгashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
The foundation reiterated that a letter addressed to Homendy in November
presented new evidence, including “official” Boeing and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) documents that were Not shared, with accident
investigators after the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines cгashes.
In July, the foundation delivered new evidence to the NTSB,
arguing that Boeing had managed to divert attention from its operations
following the two fatal accidents, which it failed to do so following the
Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 door plug blowout in January.
“The documents show that Boeing fraudulently withheld—and is currently withholding—critical evidence from the public and government investigators, including the NTSB about manufacturing related Electrical Defects that
played a key role in the two deadly crashes.”
Wiring system issues
According to the foundation, the documents prove that Boeing and the FAA
were aware of quality control and installation issues of the Electrical Wiring
Interconnect System (EWIS) while the 737 MAX aircraft were being built at
the factory in Renton, Washington, the United States.
“MCAS software and the lack of pilot training did not trigger these two
fatal cгashes. Shockingly, the documents show that Boeing suspected the
new ET302 airplane had intermittent electrical faults in the airplane’s wiring
before it cгashed.”
