Boeing jet crashes in South Korea, killing 179, amid company struggles and safety concerns.

Boeing faced a tragic crash of one of its jets in South Korea, killing 179 out of 181 on board, amid a challenging year marked by a machinists strike, safety issues with its 737 Max airliner, and a declining stock price. The crash is being investigated separately from the 737 Max incidents in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people. The 737-800 involved in the South Korea crash is known for its strong safety record. Boeing has faced financial losses and fallen behind Airbus in selling new planes.
