Boeing Whistleblower Testifies in Senate, Urges Grounding of 787s Amid Safety Crisis
Apr 17, 2024, 08:00 PM
Boeing is facing intense scrutiny as whistleblower Sam Salehpour, a Boeing quality engineer, has raised significant safety concerns regarding the 787 Dreamliner. Salehpour, who is set to testify before the Senate, claims that the 787 jets worldwide should be grounded to allow for thorough safety checks. His concerns are supported by a surge in worker submissions to Boeing's 'Speak Up' portal, highlighting a 500% increase in safety and quality concerns in just two months, amid a broader crisis of confidence. The Senate hearings are focusing on these issues, with additional testimony from other experts and former employees who have come forward with similar concerns about Boeing's manufacturing processes. The FAA is also investigating Boeing's quality and safety practices.
