Someone had to take the blame

Boeing has axed Ed Clark, the chief of its 737 Max passenger jet programme, after a shocking and terrifying mid-air blowout in January exposed the ongoing problems with the jet.

A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board found that the four bolts that should have kept the door plug in place were missing when the plane left Boeing's factory. The NTSB report did not point the finger at anyone for the missing bolts and the accident but in a statement to investors before the findings were released, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun admitted responsibility for the incident.

"We caused the problem, and we understand that. Whatever conclusions are reached, Boeing is accountable for what happened."
