On October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 slammed into the Java Sea just thirteen minutes after takeoff, killing all on board. Pilot Bhavye Suneja had fought desperately to keep the plane airborne, unaware that his own systems were fighting back against his every move. Yet Boeing, backed by many in the media and politics, subsequently heaped blame on the pilot and airline in a campaign freighted with racialized stereotyping about airline standards in Global South countries. In fact, Lion Air had pleaded with Boeing for more training on the new aircraft and been mocked in Boeing correspondence for its troubles. Boeing lobbied the US Federal Aviation Administration successfully to avoid grounding the planes, promising a software fix within weeks. Five months later, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was brought down in the same way, killing all 157 passengers and crew. Boeing's job was no longer to make aircraft but to create value for shareholders above all.
