An FAA analysis of the Boeing 737 MAX following the Lion Air crash found the plane is significantly more likely to crash than other aircraft, according to a person familiar. Despite the findings, the FAA did not ground it until a second crash months later.
Washington A Federal Aviation Administration analysis of the Boeing 737 MAX following the Lion Air crash last fall found the plane is significantly more likely to crash than other aircraft, according to a document released Wednesday at a House Transportation Committee hearing.
The agency predicted there would be more than 15 additional fatal crashes of the MAX over its lifetime, the document shows. Despite the findings, the FAA did not ground the aircraft until after a second crash of the MAX months later. The two crashes claimed 346 lives. "The FAA rolled the dice on the safety of the traveling public," committee Chairman Peter DeFazio, a Democrat, said.
