> Boeing's initial response to the 737MAX crashes comes to mind as well.
Truth be told, Boeing's response to the 737MAX crashes was to blame people working for other organizations, thus the blame would not fall within neither Boeing engineers/technicians nor the Boeing organization. That's a total and complete cop out.
Pinning the blame on a company employee at least implies that the company itself has some responsibility.
Yes! I forgot they initially tried to blame it at some low-level engineer. There is a old joke in Germany, predating the VW scandal, saying that is definitely was the night guard.
