Suspicious? I think that is the understatement of the year.

If the world believes it’s self inflicted then I guess we should should also believe the planes were never broke right? How come whistleblowers always end up dying or disappearing? Somethings just don’t make sense at all. 🕵️‍♀️

In Russia, it's "he fell off his balcony".
Apparently in the US, it's "self-inflicted gunshot wound".

William Boeing is rolling in his grave over what his company has become

Gunshot! He was murdered- he was right in the middle of the court deposition.

When you stand to lose millions or even billions from a guy's testimony, his death suddenly looks like a suicide.

*THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING* will get me to believe he "self inflicted" except time-traveling me back to see him do it...

WE* need to stop flying United n all Boeing airplanes....Both companies only care about their stockholders n NOT the passengers.

Another example of big business sending a message to future would be whistleblowers.

Boeing: "This is getting really bad... get me Hilary on the phone".

[InterestedCitizen]

This poor man. He did the right thing.

All Boeing needs is to resist this pressure and people will forget about it in a week tops, we are dumb and this will continue to happen unless we change. They have no downside while we are like this
