Goddess Posted May 9 Report Posted May 9 A place for "things that make you go Hmmmmm..." Not sure if anyone has heard about the issues with Boeing airplanes falling apart recently: FedEx Airlines, Boeing-made plane forced to land in Istanbul without front wheels | Fox Business Boeing Plane Skids Off Runway At Senegal Airport, 11 Injured (ndtv.com) but there's been a spate of whistleblowing going on at Boeing and so far, 2 of them have died under mysterious circumstances: Boeing is facing ten more ‘safe and sound’ whistleblowers after two die suddenly | The Independent First, John Barnett, 62, a quality control engineer at Boeing for 32 years, and a witness in ongoing litigation, was found dead at a hotel in March, reportedly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was found in his truck while staying at a hotel while in town to give a deposition in the case. It seemed like a strange time to kill himself. Then last week, the whistleblower bodycount ticked up again after Joshua Dean, 45, who worked as a quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, died suddenly after a “short illness.” The healthy, athletic auditor and whistleblower had an ‘active lifestyle.’ But alas, he died in the hospital after getting a “fast-moving infection” arising from the flu, which quickly became MRSA, and then he got pneumonia on top of all that and it was all over. I sure hope the ten new Boeing whistleblowers have their life insurance policies paid up. Haha, just kidding. Mostly.

I think it's been in the news quite a bit because the last flight I took, I checked to see what kind of airplane I was supposed to be travelling on. Shouldn't we be talking about Boeing's atrocious record? Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

August1991 Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 (edited) Boeing? Place that goes weird? America? Russia? You Americans have an amazing way to solve your problems. ==== Like most foolish women, you only talk about yourself. Edited May 12 by August1991 1 Quote
August1991 Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 Call me an optimist: -Boeing engineers will continue to build really good airplanes -I reckon Americans will somehow figure out how to sustain their generous federal pay-as-you-go social security system. The US Constitution has survived many knots. -Russians will somehow survive. Quote
