Boeing Whistleblower to Testify in Senate Wednesday, Urges 787 Grounding
Apr 17, 2024, 02:20 PM
Boeing is facing intense scrutiny as whistleblower Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer, has urged the grounding of all 787 Dreamliner jets, citing fatal flaws and safety concerns that could lead to catastrophic failures, including the potential for the aircraft to 'drop to the ground.' Salehpour is set to testify before the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, highlighting issues such as parts being incorrectly fastened, which he claims could cause the aircraft to disintegrate mid-flight. This testimony coincides with a broader examination of Boeing's safety practices, with Senate hearings also addressing a 'broken safety culture' at the company. Boeing has countered these claims, stating that no fatigue cracks have been found on older 787s that have undergone maintenance.
