on october 29, 2018, we know there was the lion air crash. that is when things begin to unravel. the dangers that had been concealed about the plane's tendencies and its aerodynamics now start to manifest themselves. piloteeting where some union representatives were present, a boeing executive was quoted as saying they did not pass on the differences in the planes tendencies and the operation of the mcas system onto pilots because they did not want to inundate them with new information. in november 2018, as you know from the history, boeing and the , and our view, incomplete and ineffective airworthiness directives that failed to address the design problems and led people to believe that the problem could be cured by simply telling pilots to deactivate the system and everything would be fine. no need to worry, the plane was safe. unfortunately, history had to .epeat itself 156 people lost their lives. the other information a came out just a couple of days ago, if we could -- john? written by letter the chairman of the senate committee on commerce, science, and transportation date

recent devastated by the ethiopian airlines flight 30 two and lion air 610 tragedies. 61002 and lion r tragedies. our thoughts to loved ones. frankly, these last weeks have been the most heart wrenching of my career. very core are at the of everything we do. yet, we know we can always be better, and these recent accidents have intensified our commitment to continuous improvement as we design, build, and support the safest airplanes in the sky. that is our responsibility as a leader in the aerospace industry. that is what we do at boeing. we own it. so well,terans know how you respond to a tough situation will make all of the difference to your organization and your country. our leadership values always apply, even more when the pressure is on and our character is being tested, and this experience has reinforced that for us at boeing. we are humbled, and we are learning. we are resilient, and we are resolute, and we will never waver in our commitment. the importance of our work demands it. these enduring values drive our behaviors, and i will briefly share four key ones with you today.

even the manual at southwest airlines was wrong, up until the lion air crash and the faa knew nothing it. this is all in the reports that are out this morning. how incredulous is this to you? >> yeah, this is just sort of more evidence that boeing seemed to be trying to have it both ways. on one hand saying this aircraft is revolutionary in terms of efficiency and passenger comfort and all the rest of it but on the other hand, very much like the old airplane, the old 737, in terms hof of how it would fl. this is something else in addition to the mcas system that everybody knows about, that was supposed to have prevented crashes, seems to have partly caused crashes and now, yes, pilots could have expected the warnings if the angle of attack sensors were not in agreement. unless airlines paid for an upgrade, something american did, most airlines didn't, they wouldn't have gotten the warning. cheryl: that angle of attack vein, that's the pitch of the plane's nose and that's what we're discovering with lion air and ye ethiopia, that was the cx of the crashes that killed so many people. >>

you start off with the lion air crash in indonesia in october. that happened.the cause, which was the system. boeing then came to its customers and said this is an error. there is a procedure. we need to do additional training with the pilots. if this happens again, you know how to fix it. what is coming out now in the evidence from the black box reports is that the lion air pilots knew about this issue, turned off the system, and still the system managed to turn itself back on, eventually triggering the crash. this is still preliminary. we don't have the official report yet, although we are expecting briefings in the next couple of days, if not sooner. then we will get the actual details of this, but this is where investors are really watching the competency boeing has in the actions they took after the lion air crash. vonnie: does boeing have a handle on this? is this ultimately going to be ok for the company? reporter: this is the big question everyone is wondering, the extent to which the fallout from the groundings impact the company. we've got nearly 400

that was their answer to lion air. this now says, well, even if you did that, it didn't save them.puts them back on the spot to come up with a new software and new pilot response that's going to have to be fully vetted. and frankly, the faa is going to have to reestablish their credibility with the world's aviation organizations to say we've looked at this in a rigorous way. we think it's safe. it's going to take time. >> i was going to ask you that, peter. what's it going to take? right now, that trust is shaken to say the least. >> no question. i mean, there was speculation after lion air that it would be -- they would have the fix in a couple weeks. even after the ethiopian airways tragedy, they said well, we've got the fix coming. we're going to make it, you know, a little more in depth, make it less severe when the nose goes down. that clearly is not enough. they're going to have to go back to the drawing boards and rethink this entire mcas system. >> as tom foreman points out, this preliminary report does not assign blame. but the spotlight very clearly not shifting away from

that very system, dave, that was at the heart of the lion air crash just a few months before. the wake of that, both boeing and the faa had put out statements and got in touch with airlines to talk about the necessity of proper training for the pilots and how best to deactivate the system if it were activated. given that the pilots did follow the instructions, given that the pilots did all that they could, why was this particular kind of boeing allowed to fly again after the lion air crash. these two pilots were unable to prevent it from crashing and what that means, really, dave is that this flight as it took off last month was essentially doomed. >> 346 people died in those two crashes. melissa bell live for us in paris. thank you. >> we'll continue to monitor that press conference as well. >>> the fbi is investigating the security breach at mar-a-lago as a possible espionage effort. a woman with chinese passports, four cell phones and a thumb drive containing malware was able to enter the president's florida retreat. a top democrat is asking for a briefing on security at th

it worked for the crew that flew the lion air 737 max the day before that crash. now, the senate commerce committee is joining a growing list of investigations into the plane's approval process, sending a letter to the f.a.a. after whistleblowers came forward late last week alleging numerous f.a.a. employees had not received proper training and valid certifications. and late today, the f.a.a. added yet another review to that list, this one led by a former n.t.s.b. chair that will focus on the approval process for the plane's automated flight control systems-- think mcas. also, boeing in a statement said it is too early to come to conclusions as particularly ahead of the preliminary report which we expect to be released tomorrow. jeff. >> glor: kris van cleave, thank you. the secretary of homeland security is comparing the situation at the southern border to a cat-5 hurricane disaster. kirstjen nielsen says that means possibly shutting down the southern border or sending in troops to stop a surge of migrants seeking asylum. the administration has implemented what i

the release of this preliminary report coupled with the lion air crash, this crash in ethiopia, seemssuggest that pilots can do -- if not everything right, maybe not everything right, but an awful lot right and still not be able to recover the planes. so in boeing's position here, they have not just a technical problem, in terms of trying to make sure that the fix they put on this plane actually works and doesn't make it worse, but also a confidence problem. and this statement is a lot about the confidence problem telling airlines around the world and telling pilots around the world and trying to tell passengers around the world we're not going to hide behind this, we're going to say it is our fault even though we don't have the final report yet. we believe it is our fault, we're going to fix it. the question is can they convince people they did fix it. and by the way, brooke, a bunch of investigations still swirling here looking at the federal government and people overseeing this program and at boeing to say, how did it ever get to this point? those will go on even if the fix is put

. ♪ >>> significant similarities between the ethiopian airlines and lion air crashes.his is from a preliminary report obtained first by cnn that's not been released pubically, and it reveals that the pilots on that ethiopian airlines flight were unable to stabilize oat plane after following the emergency procedures recommended by boeing. these problems mirror those that were encountered in the lion air crash from october. that was also a 737 max 8. we have cnn aviation analyst miles o'brien and cnn senior investigative correspondent drew griffin with us outside the rented boeing 737 factory. miles, to you first. put these findings which is are pretty startling into perspective fours. >> well, brianna, i think the thing that strikes me the most as i think back on this is that everything that regulators needed to know to ground the 737 max 8 was available after the first crash, the indonesian crash. they had identified a problem, a single point failure. one sensor feeding a critical flights control system that's designed to keep the aircraft from stalling. they identifie

the other thing we're learning is that it was, again, a sensor, another similarity with the lion air we'll have to hear what boeing, the faa and others have to say about this. at least based on this, it sounds very much like the lion air crash, with the major difference being that the pilots seem to have done everything they could. cheryl: there was maybe more pilot procedures that were done correctly in this crash. we're going to hear more, i'm sure. at the same time, what about -- there's been a lot of kind of concern about these global pilots, these overseas pilots not having any simulator training in the max jet and also not having enough training in general. i'm thinking of the first officer in the ethiopian cockpit who had very little training at all. did that play a factor here, do you think? >> not based on what they're saying. that's common by the way around the world, not only in developing countries like ethiopia, but the requirement in the u.s., now that you need 1500 hours experience just to sit in that right seat, just to be the first officer, is unusual around the worl

with this report that we've now looked at in the words stunningly similar timeline to that of the lion airll you? >> i mean it says what boeing apparently has admitted, that mcas is the cause of both of the accidents and that raises two issues. one is what did boeing and the faa do during certification to make sure this was safe and then why didn't they stop the airplane from flying after they knew lion air had been caused by the mcas system. they sent out a service bulletin telling the pilots about mcas and pilots hadn't been told about the mcas system before that but told them the mcas is there and this is what it will do and how to prevent the accident. it sounds like the ethiopian pilots did exactly what boeing told them to do and still couldn't save the airplane. >> drew also mentioned, it sounds like -- you tell me if all signs pointing to boeing now and he made the point about boeing and the faa being too cozy. >> yeah. >> what would you say. >> you mentioned the faa in that lawsuit. the faa not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, you have to go through a process to name the faa bu

crucially that the sensors that repeatedly pushed the nose of the plane down as it had done in the lion air crash of october, that those sensors had not been damaged which speaks to another problem for boeing which is there may have been a fundamental flaw in the design of a system that was triggered with a single sensor reading. so a lot more pressure as a result of this press conference on boeing this morning, dave, and yet ethiopian authorities keen to stress that their point was not apportion blame anywhere but simply to get to the bottom of this in order to ensure that this sort of tragedy never happens again. >> those pilots followed procedure repeatedly. melissa bell with the breaking details in paris. thank you. >> let's talk more about this with cnn business editor at large richard quest, joining us this morning from oslo, norway. richard, this is just devastating, this information. to think of these pilots and these two different flights, these pilots frantically trying to save these planes, and 346 souls lost. >> yes, indeed, and i think what is important in this one is that the

the lion air case was a huge major aviation disaster. ed the problem with the mcas system and emergency air worthiness directive was issued by the faa. procedures were sent to all their customers. the pilots would have known how the system operated. the ethiopian pilots would have known the system was there and how it operates and how to turn it off. it would have been shocking if they hadn't followed the procedure. what this tells us is that the procedure, the safeguard they sent out after lion air was not enough to protect the crew. >> so a manufacturer has a crash. they zero in on a cause of the crash, being this anti-stall system, the mcas system. they issue a procedure to correct that. the faa says that's enough. then there's another crash. that's a pretty shocking failure by both the manufacturer and the regulator, is it not? >> people are like, if they follow the emergency procedure, why weren't they able to get control of the aircraft? the ability, the safety is based on what your altitude is, what your air speed is. it gives you

three seven max aircraft in the last five months that left three hundred forty six people dead the lion air in ethiopian air crashes. that has resulted in the share price for boeing it absolutely tanked as you would imagine following these type of tragedies and then following on from the fact that they admitted that there was a problem with their aircraft now despite all of that the u.s. president has said he still loves the boeing company grounding was a big thing and it's a great company it's a truly great company and hopefully they'll figure it out very quickly it was a big it's a big decision also one of our largest actually orders. one of our you know truly one of the truly great companies of the world they have to figure it out they know that they're under great pressure. but it does seem that this is how donald trump goes business if you look back through its history it's kind of the way he's done it throughout all of the years and we've seen it in recent times while he's been the president when it involves china when it involves turkey when it involves the e.u. over. steel tariffs o

they had the lion air crash, knew they had a problem with this anti-stall system, issued this new guidancee faa put it out as an air worthy directive, all pilots had to follow it, thee pilots apparently followed it and 150 people still died. >> there are a lot of questions there, jim. there was a flight before the lion air crash in which this he did turn the mcas off and were able to land it appropriately. there are so many questions as to did this he turn it off and why would they turn it back off? if they turned it off and still couldn't get the nose up to me that tells me either it didn't turn off when they turned it off and it continued to act and put inputs into the flight controls, or, like i said, there's something else, there's something else that was pushing that nose down that did not have to do with the mcas. >> david, i mean, jim's important reporting earlier this week about the boeing needing more weeks to figure this out, ultimately how can the american public rest assured that boeing has done enough testing, the faa has done enough independent testing because that's a real q

in fact, they didn't find out until after the lion air crash in october. live in washington. boy, a lot of people have died since then. >> that is so true, harris. "the wall street journal" citing faa and industry officials reports that the airlines did not know for more than a year after the max 8 was introduced in 2017 that they have deactivated a cockpit light that warned of an angle of attack disagree alert paid unlike previous models of the 737, boeing added that light on max models only as an extra have a cost feature. a decision now rescinded in the aftermath of the two crashes. both crashes are now linked to a faulty angle of attack. one angle of attack sensor was broken off, possibly by a bird's record to be on the runway. that would have triggered and immediately wearing light if 1 had been installed in the plate. according to the internal faa emails obtained by "the wall street journal," one faa official wrote that six weeks after the liner crash, "it would be irresponsible to have max aircraft operating with angle of attack disagree warning sig

. 346 people died in two crashes within the span of five months involving ethiopian airlines and lion air planes. now some members of congress want boeing to testify about what it may have known about the fally systems. the mother of one of the eight ethiopian crash responded to preliminary findings that the pilots had followed boeing's recommended procedures. >> obviously this could have been prevented and that's what makes me cry. this could have all been prevented. >> boeing's ceo has apologized for the company's role in the tragedy. >>> the man accused of shooting and killing rapper nipsey hussle has been officially charged with murder. 29-year-old eric holder was in court yesterday. in los angeles. his attorney chris darden entered a plea of not guilty. darden was an attorney in the o.j. simpson trial. >> we want to make sure everyone who's responsible for the murder of nipsey hussles brought to justice. holden is accused of shooting hussle on sunday outside a clothing store the rapper owned. he's being held on bail and is due in court next month. >>> a judge has ordered the killer o

. >> the boeing 73 max's anti-stall system was the common factor in both the ethiopian and lion air crawhesd regulators across the globe to ground tng entire boeiax fleet. as they struggle to get the planes fix, the struggle grows for boeing. four whistleblowers have approached u.s. lawmakers, raising safety concerns with the max jet. the company is facing a mounting number of lawsuits and criminal investigations from the u.s. justice department. >> that should have gone through some internal view. e he took the first t pointed questions about putting profits over safety. >> you seem to launch the 737 ction and lost sight of failsafe things. >> i want to assure you that safety is our top priority. >> the message of safety being the top priority was repeated several times, wouther it was to convince global regulators and the public is not clear. laura: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program, one chefs rise up the food chain. how he went from cooking with his mom to working at america's finest restaurant. ♪ spain's governing socialistsave one that govern

it would have told the same picture, very similar picture of the lion air crash with this six-minutete tug of war between pilot and plane, six minutes after the plane took off from bali international airport behind me and crashing in a field south of addis ababa, killing all 157 people on board. since then, devastated families we've been speaking to, trying to get any form of dna or something that belonged to their families from this wreckage. there are 35 different nations of nationalities of the people on board, including several children. and it has been a very tough -- really a tough period for ethiopian airlines, real jewel airline, spirit of africa, they call themselves, having been asked a lot of tough questions about pilot training, about the safety history of their airline and the safety records of their aircraft. if this turns out to be true and the pilots did everything in their power to keep that plane from nose diving despite being pushed down by this automatic system that failed even when they tried to disengage it, then it will at least be a vindication for them and th
