Whistleblower raises safety concerns about Boeing's 787-Dreamliner

The FAA says it's investigating claims by a Boeing quality control engineer that sections of the 787's fuselage were improperly fastened together and could eventually fail after thousands of flights. Boeing disputes the claims, saying the plane "is very safe" and has undergone intense stress testing. NBC News' Tom Costello reports.

RIP whistleblower you will be remembered

[jacquesvilleneuve]

Please protect this whistle-blower. Buy him a ticket for a safety haven in Europe or something. Those incidents of people dying after they revelead dirty things seem a little fishy.

[MultiMojo]

Hopefully the investigators can keep the witness safe unlike the case with Mr. Barnett.

“Took his own life”??
Show me one, literally ONE person who actually believs that

[smizmi]

“Intense FAA inspection” like dude they are complicit otherwise none of this would have happened

[Stretchst]

A week from now we all be be back with the whistleblower mysteriously killed suicide.
It makes me sick how politicians are silent about this on both sides of aisle.

[Bonjour-World]

All this harkens back to managment being given to accountants and marketting types rather than the engineers that used to run the company.
