VIRTUAL EVENT

“Boeing’s Fatal Flaw”

Thursday, September 23 at

Join FRONTLINE on September 23 for a virtual event and Q&A on Boeing’s Fatal Flaw, an investigation with The New York Times. From award-winning director Tom Jennings, the documentary tells the story of the fastest selling jet in Boeing history and how intense market pressure and flawed oversight contributed to a catastrophic crisis for one of the world’s most iconic industrial names.

FRONTLINE Executive Producer Raney Aronson-Rath will lead the discussion with Jennings and The New York Times reporters, Natalie Kitroeff and David Gelles. The conversation will explore the investigation into the two deadly crashes that killed 346 people and a software system that was supposed to keep people safe but instead contributed to tragic deaths.

– Natalie Kitroeff: Reporter, “The New York Times” 

– Tom Jennings: Director, Boeing’s Fatal Flaw

– David Gelles: Reporter, Boeing’s Fatal Flaw

– Raney Aronson-Rath: Executive Producer, FRONTLINE (moderator)
