It was nice well take a look at your forecast and see what the rest of the week has in store the weekends right around the corner, so well have all those details coming up in welcome back everyone House Transportation Committee released its final report on its investigation of the boeing 7. 37 max airplanes, members of congress are actually placing blame on both boeing and the f a a washington dc correspondent Trevor Shirley has the latest. Congressional investigators say both boeing and the f a a share responsibility for approving an aircraft that was unfit to fly that aircraft the 7. 37 max was involved in 2 fatal crashes that killed 346 people before it was grounded. The report from the House Transportation Committee led by democrats blames a faulty control system which overrode pilot commands in certain situations. But it also says the delegated too much safety certification to boeing itself eroding oversight in a statement. The fda said it looks forward to working with congress to quote implement improvements identified in its report, the fda also said its undertaking important initiatives based on its own internal findings f a a will not on ground these planes until and unless they feel that these planes are totally safe transportation secretary elaine chao says she ordered a review of the certification process when the accident happened and says safety remains our top priority. We are surprised at the support came only from the democrats on the hill and not from the republicans. But nevertheless we view every report seriousness the report also describes a culture of concealment at boeing and alleges the company withheld crucial information from the f a a and its customers boeing says it cooperated with congress is inquiry and quote learned many lessons from the accidents and quote the mistakes weve made reporting in washington, im Trevor Shirley.
