International Boeing and NTSB Refuse to Cooperate with Dutch Crash Investigation

[Orgasmo]

Just digging them holes deeper and deeper. At this rate, they're gonna get themselves banned from EU.

Boeing and American safety officials refused to cooperate on Thursday with a new inquiry by Dutch lawmakers into a deadly crash near Amsterdam in 2009 that had striking parallels with two more recent accidents involving the manufacturer’s 737 Max.

Members of the Dutch parliament wanted to question the Boeing chief executive, David Calhoun, about the company’s possible influence over the original Dutch investigation of the accident, which killed nine people on a Turkish Airlines flight. The National Transportation Safety Board also refused lawmakers’ request to participate.

Boeing and the N.T.S.B. declined to comment on Thursday. In a letter to the Dutch House of Representatives, the N.T.S.B. said “there should be confidence in the integrity” of its participation in the initial investigation of the 2009 crash, insisting that its work was always “independent, transparent and free from bias.”

Why does the article say that was a 737 max? That crash was in 2009, the Max had its first flight 2016

ok, article states further down it was a 737 NG. Not the MCAS system, but another instance of a single sensor failure allowing the plane to act on it's own, and relying on Pilot to disengage the auto features before regaining control of the aircraft.

Dang, not the same technical issue, but parallels in overall attitude towards plane vs pilot control and cost savings
