Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun publicly apologized to a hearing room packed with family members of the victims of 737 Max plane crashes Tuesday.
Calhoun testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Shortly after being sworn in and before beginning his prepared remarks, Calhoun stood up and turned to face the crowded room full of family members holding up photos of loved ones killed in Boeing crashes.
“I want you to know that we are totally committed in their memory to work and focus on safety for as long as we’re employed by Boeing, so again, I’m sorry,” Calhoun said to the families. The hearing was held to discuss the safety culture at the company. Boeing has faced massive scrutiny following several incidents, including one in which a door plug of a Boeing plane fell off midflight in January. Investigators of the case discovered that four key safety bolts were missing.
