Report in NY Times
The company expressed regret at the embarrassing communications it sent to investigators on Thursday, which included a comment that “this airplane is designed by clowns, who are in turn supervised by monkeys.”

Brought to mind the flying monkey scene in the Wizard of Oz...


Boeing have been trying to make monkeys of everybody and in doing so have garnered a hug loss in financial terms, but worse in terms of industry respect.
