A criminal investigation
The Department of Justice reportedly opened an investigation into Boeing’s door plug incident in March, ensuring the debacle will be a continuing PR thorn in the company’s already troubled side. According to the Wall Street Journal, the DOJ is looking into whether Boeing violated a settlement regarding plane crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people. Meanwhile, NPR reports that Boeing says it simply can’t find documents related to the door plug that blew off in January.
