Listen "Occurrence: The Lion Air Disaster"
Episode Synopsis
The tragic crash of Lion Air Flight 610 marked the beginning of a dark chapter for the Boeing 737 MAX 8, exposing critical design flaws and systemic failures. This was not an isolated event—warnings had surfaced in a prior flight emergency and in other issues on earlier flights. Yet these red flags were ignored.
This episode examines the days leading up to the crash, the immediate fallout, and how the aviation industry’s failure to address the flawed MCAS system set the stage for a second tragedy.
Instead of confronting the dangers, Boeing and regulators obscured the risks, withheld vital information from pilots and airlines, and promoted procedural changes by pilots while working in the background to modify MCAS’s fatal design.
