Boeing whistleblower found dead in US
Quote
After retiring, he embarked on a long-running legal action against the company.

He accused it of denigrating his character and hampering his career because of the issues he pointed out - charges rejected by Boeing.

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

Qui bono? makes it difficult to see this as anything but an assassination. Mr. Barnett is the Karen Silkwood of 2024.

Just like the possible assasination of those Whistleblowers didn't prevent Three Mile Island from happening anyway, this one too won't prevent Boeing planes from crashing.

Already the public damage to their reputation is very large, people start to refuse to fly on a Boeing.

At this rate Boeing Corp. should divest from commercial planes.

Most of the legacy carriers have been switching over to Airbus for some time now. In fact, I think American Airlines is the largest operator of Airbus A320s in the world.

A de-facto monopoly for Airbus, until a new competitor that makes quality planes arrives.

It's weird that Japan never had a succesfull aviation industry, old style Japanese quality is the only that can rival old style German quality.

At first I thought this was just a bad coincidence because of it being seemingly just a really sudden, bad infection, but apparently those close to him consider him a health nut, and he was fine until right after he came out with the whistleblowing. Which is... suspicious. Can't rule out that it's just a bad coincidence, but I'm really wondering if there's one of the higher ups (Not the whole company, they aren't that f**king stupid) who's so panicked about this that they'd actually commission something.

Seriously, I'm not one prone to conspiracies, but 2 whistleblowers dying shortly after they come out with their stories, both under odd circumstances that seemingly contradict their lifestyle/personality? That's not exactly a normal pattern.

Boeing wasn't punished originally so maybe they figure murder is just legal for them now:
