Boeing stock closed down over 4% today following a series of troubling incidents involving the quality of Boeing airliners. A recent incident on a Chilean Boeing 787 resulted in a nosedive that injured 50 passengers after a technical event caused a strong movement on board. The pilot admitted to losing control of the plane due to gauge malfunctions.
Boeing is cooperating with investigations into the incident, which is the latest in a string of issues for the company. Previous incidents include a door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight, a wheel falling off a United flight, and hydraulic fluid leakage on another United flight.
