Boeing Whistleblower Urges 787 Grounding; Senate Hearing Set for Wednesday
Apr 17, 2024, 12:45 AM
Boeing is facing significant scrutiny as a whistleblower, Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour, has urged the grounding of all 787 Dreamliner jets citing safety concerns that they could 'break apart' mid-flight due to alleged structural flaws. The whistleblower claims that the aircraft could potentially break apart mid-flight due to structural flaws. In response, Boeing has defended the safety of the 787 Dreamliner, asserting that inspections and tests overseen by the FAA have not revealed any safety issues, including the absence of fatigue cracks on older jets that have undergone heavy maintenance. This controversy comes as Boeing is set to face a U.S. Senate hearing on Wednesday, where the safety culture and manufacturing practices of the company will be critically examined ahead of the whistleblower's testimony.
