Yeah, they "self-inflicted" him for sure.

[Riskbreaker]

From negligent murderers to actual assassins.

[wadehiggins]

So, from October 2018 to March 2024, boeing has taken 347 lives.

[Nemura]

The little credibility that Boeing had is all gone. allegedly of course.

[KyoushaPumpItUp]

Nobody's gonna believe that it was self inflicted.

[jasonjada]

Boeing needs to be broken up. It’s insane what they are getting away with

[Argosh]

"Self inflicted" apart from the literal psychological warfare employed by Boeing...

[alexlascu]

He tried to change this rotten business and they killed him for it

[RandyBoBandy.]

I’d bet the video surveillance cameras for the hotel parking lot happened to be offline for maintenance or something when this happened.

dude died for the people, absolute hero. I wonder how many more John Barnetts there are in the world... Assassinated for speaking out.

[jeremyacton]

Self inflicted? No. He was surely silenced. He even is quoted to have said that if he died, it was not suicide.

[brianhauk]

"Self inflicted" is not believable. Why say this, instead of allegedly "self inflicted"? He warned others that if wouldn't be suicide if he was found dead.

[pietro_valente]

I’ll do whatever I can to avoid flying Boeing until they completely oust the board and close permanently the SC plant. This company doesn’t deserve anyone’s trust anymore.

[Supernaut]

If you think he died from self inflicted trauma, think again.

[colin-nekritz]

He told his own sister and another friend “if I wind up dead, it wasn’t suicide.” This news piece here is fluff, he was murdered.

[jordanalexander]

I’m sure “he shot himself twice in the head”.

[wearethemags]

"self inflicted"? And I'm Santa Claus. Boeing has even more blood on their hands now...

[PetrolHeadBrasil]

I worked for 11 years in aviation, 6 years with Boeing 737-300/700/800 and 767-200/300. I was always PROUD to have worked with them! Today, I don't travel by Boeing even if it's free...

[ZRHTrainspotter]

If Boeing continues this way, the next whistles will be blown by the Airlines!

[seekittycat]

With the man gone I hope people keep fighting his fight. If he was silenced then Boeing wants this to just "blow over" I hope it never does.
