John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment on Boeing, tracing how it went from a quality engineering company to one tied to crashes and 'quality escapes'. It covers the 737 MAX failures and employee concerns about safety.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recommends it as an entertaining and thorough overview of Boeing's decline whenever the company's safety problems are in the news.

Widely viewed segment where employees say they won't fly Boeing.
I hope the company had no involvement in this. It would be bit futile given such a large audience has seen their employees state they won't fly in the aircraft they build.
