Boeing CEO Calhoun apologizes to crash victims' families during Senate hearing

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun on Tuesday apologized to the families of crash victims during a Senate hearing.

"I apologize for the grief we have caused," Calhoun said, turning around and facing the victims' families. "I want you to know we are totally committed to work focused on safety... I’m sorry."

The family members were related to the victims of two crashes, one in October 2018 in Indonesia, and one in 2019, in Ethiopia. The attendees held pictures of their late relatives during the hearing. 

"To all of you, thank you for having the strength and courage to be with us. We are deeply sorry for your losses," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in his opening statement, according to CNN.

Calhoun also apologized to the crew and passengers of the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max flight that had a door blow off mid-flight in January.
