Boeing Fires 737 MAX Chief Ed Clark.

Boeing has removed the head of its 737 MAX program, Ed Clark, amid heightened scrutiny following a mid-flight blowout of an air panel on a plane last month. The incident led to the temporary grounding of 171 planes. Clark, an 18-year Boeing veteran, is leaving the company with immediate effect. Katie Ringgold, a vice president in charge of delivering 737s to airlines, has been appointed as his successor. The move comes after a 737 MAX operated by Alaska Airlines suffered a mid-flight blowout of an air panel on January 5, triggering an emergency landing with the plane left with a gaping hole in the cabin.
