So representative babbin. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. Id like to join the others in acknowledging those in attendance here today who lost loved ones in the accidents and our sincerest condolences to you and thank you for being here today. In the interest of time, id like to get right to it. Instead of directing my questions to one of you specifically. Id like to address these to both of you and let you decide who is best fit to answer. I think there is a feeling out there that after the lion air crash in indonesia boeing sat back and did nothing in terms of addressing the causes of the accident and since the second crash in ethiopia, weve heard a lot from boeing and the rest of the industry about how the information gleaned from these tragic accidents helped to ensure that they are not repeated. With that in mind, what did boeing do after the lion air crash to ensure that those circumstances were not repeated and do you have any specific examples of Lessons Learned tha
This hearing will come to order. Thank you all for being here today. One year ago today, lyon air 610 crashed into the sea in jakarta indonesia. All 189 people on board were killed. A few months later, an Ethiopian Air flight departed, and flight 302 experienced problems shortly after takeoff and crashed. All 157 persons on board died. Both of these accidents were entirely preventible. We cannot fathom the pain experienced by the families of those 346 human beings who were lost. Many family members are here today and we appreciate their attendance. I appreciate many of them meeting with members of the committee over time. As chairman of this committee, i promise their loved ones were working to obtain a full answer as to how to prevent future tragedies. These families deserve answers, accountability and action. And the public deserves no less. The type of aircraft involved in both accidents is a 737 max 8. Manufactured by boeing. International aviation safety regulators began grounding
Mr. Forkner meant by the email i can tell you that certification, training materials are not determined by one individual in fact, let me just interrupt you again. In the over 1600 page original flight manual of boeing 737 max, the aircrafts new mcas Computer System was mentioned only once, once in 1600 pages in the glossary of abbreviated terms. So when boeing came to us and said it is the pilots, inexperienced pilots, you were lying to us as well. Senator, if i could try to respond to your question first of all, the premise that we would lie or conceal is not consistent with our values i know it is not consistent with values that youre articulating here. Let me since my time is limited move on. Would you agree that this system of certification and oversight is broken, thats the issue, that boeing lobbied congress for more delegation and now we have to reverse that delegation of authority. Would you support those le legislative efforts . Senator, again, i support taking a hard look at
The committee on transportation infrastructure will come to order. I ask unanimous consent that security be authorized to declare basis of the hearing without objection, so ordered. I also ask unanimous consent for the Ranking Member of the full committee to be recognized for ten minutes each i will be making to unanimous requests for documents from the attorneys said. I see nothing that is export sensitive in these documents will be making a unanimous consent request pistol into the export control act and make a unanimous consent request to enter the documents on the list into the hearing record. This list includes the export control documents theyve reviewed all these documents on both lists and with i would ask unanimous consent that they be disclosed pursuant to the code. I want to reserve my right to object. The reason for doing that is we have had at least two that i can remember noting the industries and that includes maritime, transit, you name it and they would love to have th
Elevations. Watch out for blowing debris and difficulty driving tonight. So, heres your hour by hour preview. Reds and oranges at 7 00 indicating some intense rain. 8 00 p. M. , 9 00 p.

Pg e is watching the storm tonight. Experts are monitoring wind gusts we think expect will bring down power lines and create outages in the bay area. The center does computational modelling. That gives them a pretty good idea where well be hit the hardest and where to stage and send crews. It enables us to plan and prepare for the storm events.
