Boeing Safety Concerns: Whistleblower Exposes Structural Flaws

A whistleblower has come forward with alarming allegations about safety lapses in Boeing's 777 and 787 wide-body jets, raising concerns about potential structural failures that could jeopardize the safety of over 1,400 planes. The whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, a veteran Boeing engineer, revealed that production shortcuts have led to misaligned fuselages and compromised structural integrity in these aircraft. Salehpour's claims have sparked an investigation by the FAA and will be addressed in a Senate subcommittee hearing on April 17. Boeing has refuted the allegations, insisting that their planes are safe and have undergone rigorous engineering examinations. However, the spotlight on Boeing's manufacturing practices and safety culture continues to intensify, as the company faces mounting scrutiny and a crisis of confidence in the wake of recent safety incidents.
