NTSB Hearing Reveals Boeing's Oversight in UPS Cargo Jet Crash
During the second day of the NTSB hearing on the UPS cargo jet crash in Louisville, Kentucky, Boeing admitted to deficiencies in the certification and safety processes of the MD-11 aircraft. The crash, which occurred in November 2025, resulted in 15 deaths and 23 injuries. Boeing acknowledged that the aft pylon spherical bearing should have been classified as a Principal Structural Element (PSE) during the original certification. The FAA also admitted to oversight failures. The hearing highlighted Boeing's failure to address known safety issues, despite previous incidents and internal reviews.
