In December of the same year, Boeing was fined $42,500 for not telling the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) about the release of five toxic chemicals. In January 1992, the EPA fined Boeing a record $334,325 for mishandling solvent-soiled rags and other toxic wastes at its Everett plant. Boeing persuaded the EPA to reduce the fine from a proposed $620,475. In June of the same year, Boeing was sued by the U.S. Justice Department for $11.5 million to help clean a contaminated drinking water well in Tacoma, Washington. Boeing had dumped hazardous waste near the well. Unfortunately, Boeing does not seem to have learned its lesson.

Boeing this week rolled out its first 737 without eyebrow windows, the four small windows above the front windshield. In the past the eyebrow windows helped provide better crew visibility, but today's advanced navigation systems have made those windows obsolete. The design change reduces airplane weight by 20 pounds and eliminates approximately 300 hours of periodic inspections per airplane. Retrofit kits to cover eyebrow windows will be available mid-2006 for the in-service 737 fleet.
