ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff and team traveled the world to investigate the deadly Boeing 737 MAX-8 airplane, grounded in 2019 following two tragic crashes that killed 346 passengers from around the world and cleared to fly again in 2020. "20/20" reports on the aircraft's original controversial flight control software and how it mistakenly sent planes into deadly nosedives, as well as the status of the criminal investigation into Boeing and the criminal charges filed against one former employee. "20/20" also investigates what Boeing knew about concerns with that flight control system and when they knew it. The two-hour program features Woodruff's in-depth interview with "Miracle on the Hudson" pilot Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger about the crashes and the safety of the 737 MAX before its redesign. Woodruff also sat down with the family of Samya Stumo, a young health care analyst killed in the crash in Ethiopia who was the grandniece of Ralph Nader. In candid emotional interviews, her parents, Michael Stumo and Nadia Milleron, opened up to Woodruff about their devastating loss and their tireless fight on behalf of victims' families to hold Boeing accountable. The program also features an interview with a passenger who tells the harrowing story of his trip on the Lion Air plane that just one day later crashed into the sea, along with interviews with victims' families from all over the world. "20/20" airs on Friday, Dec. 17 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. (Rebroadcast. ABC OAD: 11/27/20)
