00:00If it wasn't Boeing, if it was a human being that had done, committed a fraud that had led to the deaths of 346 people,
00:08would we be having this discussion?
00:11No, of course not.
00:12There's no way that a deal like this would be given to an individual.
00:17But because it's Boeing, apparently rules don't apply.
00:21I always say that Boeing does not make little red wagons.
00:25They make extremely complex vehicles that the public trusts with their lives and their children's lives.
00:33We have to do better. We have to demand that they do better.
00:37And there is no alternative.
00:40The Department of Justice is acting just like Boeing.
00:43They're moving the case along, stamping it, and getting out of the way.
00:47Not with the good quality, not with holding accountability, not with actually pursuing justice.
00:52And that's how Boeing produces planes.
00:54They just stamp them down the line, get them out of the way, and then they have dangerous new planes in the air.
01:00Boeing has still never changed their behavior.
01:03The basic situation which caused our daughter's death is the same.
01:09There are still avionic, hydraulic, and electrical problems with these planes that are happening because of defective production.
