The Boeing Scandal Just Got A LOT Worse

In just over a week since the last episode, a lot has happened with Boeing. From miss management of the manufacturing process to the death of a whistle blower. In this episode we'll take a look at all of that and also Boeing's close ties to the US government.

A quick update, the engine spitting flames and the aircraft running off the runway weren’t the fault of Boeing as per latest reports.

That being said, the incident with the 50 passengers injured was quoted as a “technical problem” and the pilot “lost instrumentation” indicating a Boeing issue. The others are still under investigation, however since they are all Boeing planes in the incidents, it's just not a good look for them unfortunately.

A testament to Boeing's quality control.
Don't even have time to make a murder look less suspicious.

Boeing Engineers saying they won't fly on the very planes they were making is wild AF.

[narkki]

Key witness assassinated, insider trading, missing records...and this is not a movie. Just wow.

I'm guessing all the cameras in the building he was in magically stopped working, the security guard fell asleep, nobody saw or heard anything, etc. We've heard it all before...

I don't understand how little that death is being talked about. It's unbelievable.

As a Brit, it is staggering to me how Congress and Senators are allowed to invest in companies over whom they legislate.

[raystaar]

I hope Boeing's entire board of directors and management staff goes to jail.

Netflix has a Boeing documentary. If they hadn’t removed it yet, I strongly suggest you watch it. It’s crazy.

The disturbing part was that the Boeing plant workers were saying they would never fly on the planes they were building. This is like GM in the 80's unreal.

[Stark]

Oh no! He “shot himself” the DAY before he was going to testify against Boeing? How fucking lucky for THEM 🤦🏻‍♂

[raging]

The disrespect of a dead man is unbelievable.
He literally said, in a last effort to be heard, that "IF I DIE THIS ISN'T A SUICIDE".

And yet here we are even questioning it like "maybe it was".
Fcking disgusting, really.

[SMAXZO]

"You got money to hire hitmen but you got no money for proper management and parts? The hell, Boeing!"

[cramsa]

The level of corporate corruption in America is disgusting… I lost count honestly.

It should also be noted that John Barnett told a close friend that 'if something happens, it's not suicide'. He knew the extreme risk he was taking in going against Boeing.

[KenLinx]

The whistleblower's death the day before he gives his official testimony is some mafia stuff. What the hell?

[Clyman]

What's funny is that if they didn't kill John Barnett I would have never known about the ongoing case against Boeing

It is Boeing issue. My husband was an A&P mechanic for a Boeing subcontractor. There were enough issues that my husband took a job for less pay rather than let the sub use his FAA license number to approve unsafe parts. His employer routinely tried to steal his tags to approve unsafe work. He used to swear they were going to kill a bunch of people. The DOJ should look into their use of "refurbished" parts to fulfill their contracts to other countries. All of those military industries will go after whistleblowers. Remember Karen Silkwood.

[Harry._.Thompson]

There’s no way the whistleblower killed himself.

I have a new mantra: "If it's a Boeing I ain't going." I used to say "Unless it's a Boeing I ain't going". I was a Flight Instructor and General Aviation Pilot in the 1990's. Unless it's a Cessna forgetaboutit.
