The White House declined to say on Friday that it is safe to fly on Boeing planes as press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to reassure Americans that the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are engaged in thorough investigations of a number of incidents involving the aircraft in recent days and months.
“I think what Americans should know is that FAA is doing everything that it can to make sure that Americans feel safe,” Jean-Pierre said when pressed about the safety of the planes.
Just in the last week, 50 passengers were injured when a Boeing Dreamliner suddenly dropped in mid-air, slamming many passengers and crew against the plane’s ceiling.
There have also been incidents implicating a fuel leak and a missing external panel on Boeing planes, among other alarming incidents.
Ironically, Air Force One, the plane that transports the president from place to place, is a Boeing model, but it is obviously checked extensively and meticulously maintained.
Boeing failed 33 of 89 audits during a recent FAA inspection, adding to the escalating concern.
