I'm reminded a lot of the Challenger explosion investigation [1]. Specifically, Feynman's discoveries and analysis while investigating NASA. He discovered a huge disconnect between engineers and management. What's more, the commission seemed less intent on identifying the systemic issue and more on giving the appearance of a quick resolution, which Feynman hates. "For a successful technology," Feynman concluded, "reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."

I feel like it's the same problems at Boeing, and the same pattern of addressing problems. It will be interesting to see if a publicly traded company will be more effective than a government organization at solving these problems.
