Did something happen? I've seen Boeing mentioned a few times now

A door fell off from a Boeing 737 mid air because they skimped on QA testing.

Govt launched some investigations into Boeing.

A whistleblower who was a former Boeing employee who was testifying against Boeing for lackluster safety inspections "suicided" in the middle of the case.

About half a dozen 'incidents' over the last 3-4 months. Doors falling off, wheels falling off, windshield exploding, etc. All while flying. Including two on the same day. Fortunately no one has died (yet) (apart from a whistleblower).

I’ve got news for you. 346 people died from two Boeing planes going down in 2018 and 2019. It was the 737 Max plane that had a known issue. I HIGHLY recommend watching John Oliver’s bit on Boeing because he explains everything far better than I could.

Oh yes, but Boeing (1) initially blamed the pilots for not being white and (2) when caught, promised to debug the faulty software. So the fact that such incidents are still happening is funny.
