Two Democratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, are pushing the Justice Department to hold Boeing accountable for allegedly misleading regulators before two fatal 737 crashes. Their letter came just before the Trump administration reportedly dropped the prosecution—a move that could let Boeing off the hook despite the tragic deaths of 346 people.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about legal technicalities—it’s about whether a giant corporation faces consequences for mistakes that cost hundreds of lives. If the DOJ backs down, it could signal weaker enforcement for powerful companies, undermining public trust in both regulators and the justice system. Families of the victims, and anyone who flies, have a stake in how this plays out.
