Boeing's 737 MAX failures show how commercial commitments, derivative design, fragmented hazard analysis, delegated certification, and training choices can keep dispersed safety evidence from governing a whole aircraft. Two crashes killed 346 people. A redesign returned the MAX to service, but a 2024 door-plug separation and continuing regulatory intervention showed that manufacturing quality, safety culture, and accountability remained governance problems.
How can a large engineering institution keep dispersed safety evidence authoritative while coordinating complex products under commercial and schedule pressure?
