Boeing’s Year-Long Struggle to Get 737 Max Back in the Air May Soon Be Over (0:33) Guest: Natalie Kitroeff, Reporter, New York Times It’s been nearly a year since Boeing grounded its 737 Max because of two crashes that happened within 5 months and killed 346 people.  Since then, a Congressional investigation surfaced internal Boeing emails that showed disdain for federal regulators and efforts to avoid some requirements to certify the 737 Max as safe for flight.
