Speakers at a Senate hearing said federal regulatory agencies were 'captured' by Boeing and the company is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people.

Boeing, the troubled aircraft manufacturer that makes most of the planes that Americans fly on, was the subject of an unsettling Congressional hearing Wednesday wherein multiple invited speakers accused the company of fostering a “safety culture” that is anything but safe.

Pierson, a former senior manager at one of Boeing’s 737 factories, accused the company of engaging in a “criminal cover-up” of records related to Alaska Airlines flight 1282, the Boeing plane whose hull partially blew out in January. That flight, which spurred a flurry of negative press for Boeing, has also spawned multiple federal investigations, including an FBI probe.
