NTSB also said investigators still do not know who worked on door plug before it blew out mid-flight

The head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Wednesday that investigators still do not know who worked on a Boeing 737 Max 9 door plug involved in the 5 January Alaska Airlines midair emergency and that video footage was overwritten.

The NTSB’s chair, Jennifer Homendy, said in a letter to senators that investigators sought security camera footage when the door plug was opened and closed in September but were informed the material was overwritten. “The absence of those records will complicate the NTSB’s investigation moving forward,” she said.

The NTSB said previously that four key bolts were missing from the door plug that blew out on the plane.

Last I heard the video died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound the day it was needed as evidence in a trial.

The solution is simple. We need to nationalize Boeing. Profit chasing and shareholders are what turned Boeing to what it is today.

It kinda sounds like the NTSB is looking for a fall guy rather than tackling the systemic issues over at Boeing.

Guys I have material evidence of Boeings misdeeds. Unfortunately I killed myself next week with two to the back of the head.

I’m sure whistleblowers would come forward… if they weren’t mysteriously killing themselves in the middle of depositions.

The video was overwritten? In that case, I expect Boeing to offer a stock buyback.

Just arrest the boeing board already. They’ve shown that they won’t learn without force.

I'm pretty sure that would be a massive due process violation. Don't get me wrong, I'd happily violate the board, but cutting corners like that would torpedo the prosecution's case. A mistrial or an acquittal resulting from prosecution's fuck-up would probably be the worst outcome -- after all, that's the reason Cosby is a free man now.

Corporations are people until it comes time to make criminal arrests.

I wish every person in America watched The Corporation documentary.

Then they just become rich people. Completely immune to the consequences of their own actions.

And risk getting assassinated? The chuckefucks we need to prosecute these people are terrified of them. Welcome to capitalism.

I'm sure the CCTV will turn up in a hotel car park soon enough.
