The crash of two new Boeing airplanes exposes the aviation company’s history of corporate greed in the trailer for Downfall: The Case Against Boeing, a new documentary coming to Netflix on Feb. 18.
The film investigates the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, both involving Boeing’s then-new MAX 737 aircrafts. “Two crashes of brand new airplanes within five months of each other, that doesn’t happen in modern aviation,” someone states in the trailer.
Downfall director Rory Kennedy said in a statement to Rolling Stone, “Like so many people around the world, I was hit hard by news of the crash of Lion Air Flight 610. It was just devastating. Then five months later, the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. It was difficult to process, to understand. It soon became clear that a larger story linked the two. 346 lives had been lost — how had these crashes been allowed to happen?”
