Traces and explores the history of 2 Max 737 crashes that killed over 300 passengers. I found it captivating and informative.

Very telling documentary!
I just now said to the wife that I need to watch that. Thanks for the suggestion.
The title I believe is ‘Downfall’ not ‘Downturn.’
Interestingly my Grandson is TUI pilot in the U.K. and flies the ‘now safe’ 737 Max. Having originally undergone a very short training input to fly the version that crashed, he had to undergo a two day training course including simulators to qualify to fly the latest version.
It’s far greater range means he now flies to West African holiday destinations including Cape Verde islands. These are too far to fly there and back in a day, so he now enjoys a spell between flights, sunning himself poolside at some rather nice hotels.

I stand corrected. You are right. Sorry for my misleading title.

Yes, Boeing has become an embarrassment. After they merged with MacDonald, the head of MacDonald took over. His goal was to make money not airplanes. The company made lots of money and made the stockholders happy. Engineering, safety? There's no money in that. There's an expression - "Money is the root of all evil." It is also the root of many deaths.
I watch a lot of YouTube channels about aviation, and there is very little good news about Boeing.
I'll look for that documentary.
