| >The fact Ethiopa insisted on sending the flight records for their MAX 737 crash to Europe and not to the US shows some serious loss of trust in the FAA had occurred. I don't blame them, given how Boeing had previously tampered with crash evidence[0]. From the article on the investigation of the crash of Flight 585: >Walz, of Parker Bertea, was assigned to hand-carry the servo valve to Irvine. John Calvin, the quality-control engineer from Boeing, instructed an assistant to pack up the parts. According to court records, the assistant left the room and returned with a taped package, which he handed to Walz, who carried it on a flight to Southern California. >When Walz opened the package that afternoon at the Parker Bertea plant, he discovered that three servo-valve parts were missing: a spring, spring guide and end cap. >Boeing, citing ongoing litigation, has never explained why those three parts were left out of the package forwarded to Irvine.
