In one case, part of the fuselage broke off a plane in mid-flight, creating a gaping hole in the side that nearly sucked out a 17-year-old passenger. In another case, a tire fell off a Boeing plane during takeoff, destroying a car in the airport parking lot.

John Kiriakou speaks with Jamie Finch, former National Transportation Safety Board Official, about how Boeing is taking a nose dive.
