The Office of Special Counsel has found that officials at the Federal Aviation Committee misled Congress about the training its inspectors received, including inspectors that likely oversaw the certification of the 737 Max. Investigators determined this after examining a whistleblower complaint. The findings are a major setback for the FAA. The organization is currently trying to convince aviation regulators worldwide to re-certify the 737 Max, which was grounded worldwide after fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The two separate incidents killed 346 people.
