What happens when the company trusted to build some of the world's safest aircraft finds itself at the center of one of aviation's most devastating crises?For decades, Boeing represented innovation, engineering excellence, and the promise of safe travel. But behind the company's legendary reputation, troubling questions began to emerge-questions about corporate pressure, aircraft design, manufacturing quality, whistleblower warnings, and the systems responsible for protecting millions of passengers.
Following the devastating crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, which claimed a total of 346 lives, the world began searching for answers. How did two nearly new aircraft crash within months of each other? Were critical warnings missed? Did the race for profit and production overshadow safety?
This gripping investigative account explores the crisis surrounding Boeing, from the development of the 737 MAX and the controversial MCAS system to the growing concerns inside Boeing's factories. It examines the voices of employees and whistleblowers who stepped forward, including John Barnett, whose long battle over alleged manufacturing and safety concerns brought renewed attention to the human cost of speaking out.
The story takes readers inside the investigations, regulatory failures, congressional scrutiny, and legal battles that followed. It also examines the shocking Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 incident, when a door plug blew off a Boeing 737 MAX 9 in midair-once again raising disturbing questions about manufacturing, quality control, and whether the lessons of the past had truly been learned.
This is more than a story about airplanes.
It is a story about trust, accountability, human lives, and what can happen when warnings are not taken seriously.
How many warnings does it take before someone finally listens?
If you are fascinated by investigative documentaries, corporate scandals, aviation disasters, and the true stories behind the headlines, get your copy today and uncover the disturbing story behind one of the biggest crises in modern aviation.

Interactive Documentary in Canada
<p>Interactive documentary emerged rapidly from a constellation of changing technologies and practices to much excitement, yet its history is short and its future uncertain. In the mid-2010s Canada was a world leader in the creation of i-docs. Less than a decade later technological obsolescence has rendered many of these celebrated projects inaccessible, while rapid digital innovation continues to change the i-doc form and its modes of experience. <p/><i>The Interactive Documentary in Canada</i> captures this transitional moment in documentary filmmaking and media production. Bringing together a range of historical, theoretical, and critical approaches, this collection examines the past - and the imagined future - of a nonfiction storytelling phenomenon that has Canadian institutions, figures, and works at its centre. Embracing a polyphonic conception of interactive documentary, the volume includes explorations of web-based, app-based, installation, and virtual reality works that push the boundaries of what is understood as documentary cinema. Leading documentary scholars and makers consider the historical and technological contexts of i-doc production, innovation, and exhibition&#x3b; the political and pedagogical potential of the genre&#x3b; the ethics of the i‐doc experience&#x3b; and the format's future lifespan in the contemporary media landscape. <p/><i>The Interactive Documentary in Canada</i> establishes a place for the i-doc in the history of Canadian film, highlighting the genre's significant impact on the National Film Board of Canada and on contemporary global documentary media.</p>
