I recently watched The Octopus Murders on Netflix, so my paranoia has been heightened. Never been much of a conspiracy theorist, but when you see stuff like this: https://www.tmj4.com/boeing-whistleblower-found-dead-days-after-testifying-against-company Apparent suicide, and not in great health but still ...
Anyways, its fun to know that the plane you are on is built from garbage and has oxygen masks with a 25% fail rate
Well if you consider driving a sickly old man to killing himself with character assassinations and bleeding him dry with a legal system designed by and for the wealthy, then I too would call this a conspiracy.
That's somewhat surprising on the failure rates. As long as the aircraft passes DO-160 (FAA) or ED-14g (EASA) testing, they can pretty much do what they want. There are very specific testing criteria required for flammability, impact, etc for all aircraft interiors (used to work for Zodiac).
it was failure rates on a particular load of oxygen cylinders. system checks identified the supplier problem and flagged it.
That was a great series and my first thought when I learned of his death. He had a lot of dirt on Boeing. There’s a deep state, just not the one Trump would have us believe.
I wonder if there are text messages, emails or phone calls threatening him and or his family. Maybe he thought it was a way to safeguard his family.
John Oliver ripped them on his show. Traced it back to MD merger. Interesting report, but I think was based on some other investigative work.
Interviews? He was in the middle of his own lawsuit brought against Boeing. He was scheduled to be deposed by his own lawyers the day he was alleged to have killed himself, suddenly, after a 6 year long running battle for his reputation. Boeing whistleblower John Barnett found dead in US
Well actually murdering him would have been extremely stupid, much less evil. It’s sounds like much of the dirt has already been put out there, so killing him accomplishes nothing other than stoke conspiracy theories. However I am sure they put him through the wringer and made his life hell in order to defend themselves.
Do we have reason to believe he was going to reveal new information, or these were normal proceedings and testimony in his lawsuit against Boeing and essentially restatements of what he has already revealed. I just have a hard time believing a management team of a Fortune 500 company is going to commit murder. It’s a great plot for a TV show but not realistic. Sure, they’ll gladly dump toxins into the water supply that could kill many to save a buck, but as to hiring a hitman to murder somebody that seems a stretch.
He was still involved in a lawsuit against them, so I don't think its necessarily a case of all the damage being done already
Interesting to see how the thing with the whistleblowers will develop further. Strange what happened to 2 of them. The ones that will emerge in the future (and they will) should get a good lawyer, like Oberheiden P.C.
