TODAY'S NUGGETS

😓 Yet another Boeing crash. Just days before Boeing’s now-defunct criminal trial for its deadly passenger jet crashes was set to begin, a London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carrying 242 people crashed this morning shortly after taking off in India, killing all but one person on board. Boeing, meanwhile, was just let off the hook by the Trump Justice Department for its fatal 737 Max disasters without even a guilty plea. This comes after The Lever reported the company might have violated the terms of its first nonprosecutorial agreement by ignoring “an excessive amount of defects” produced by one of its suppliers.
