Boeing 737 Max Internal Emails, "Clowns and Monkeys"
Internal Boeing emails revealed employees mocking the 737 Max's design and deceiving federal regulators.

The messages also showed workers admitting they would not put their own families on a Max simulator-trained aircraft, further damaging the company's reputation during the global grounding of the fleet.
