Just watched it. Agreed with comments made so far, but the part that worries me on the long term is the "self regulating" and political lobby part.( Similar in Europe with Airbus BTW ).
The sentence "It is all OK because the FAA ( or EASA) approved it " , gets a completely new meaning when one realize it is the industry regulating itself and all covered by government officials waiting for their post retirement jobs in the industry.
This is not new, but the program reminds us very cruelly of this fact.

I think one day the industry will dearly pay for this.
