Boeing under investigation after multiple safety concerns | BBC News 

whistleblowers should be protected by police from Boeing

If it’s Boeing I ain’t going

I honestly thought the headline was going to be 'boeing under investigation for murder'

2 whistleblowers “died”, further investigation has to be done carefully 😂

What about the two separate whistleblowers discovered dead after coming forward with information???

Imagine how these airline safety stories would have been reported if Boeing was a Chinese company!

"Profits over Safety"

Protect the whistleblowers at all costs.

Multiple safety concerns and STRAIGHT UP MURDER

Who knew a Boeing QC engineer would be the most dangerous job after a minefield football Ref.

I’m no Boeing fanboy, but blaming them for a tyre that blew off on landing and an incident with a very old model (737-300) is just dishonest. The media should do some basic research before putting out these sensationalist headlines.

How many accidents need to happen before something is done?!

Wow... the name Boeing is truly mud at this point.

As bad a Boeing has been lately, they arent responsible for the maintenance of older planes.

Also, you need to check the airline's maintenance record too! It's not always a Boeing problem.

2 whistle blowers dead? Not a single mention 😂😂

Soon Airbus will be the only way to fly

While the MCAS crashes and door plug blow-out were issues very much attributable to Boeing, a plane running off the end of a runway or bursting a tyre on landing is more likely to do with maintenance or aircraft operation. The number of unrelated incidents happening to Boeing aircraft within 24 hours is related to just how many flights take place today. Let us wait until accident investigations or completed before reaching the prejudicial conclusion that these are yet further Boeing safety issues.

The reporter was cool until she mentioned the tire bursting. That has nothing to do with Boeing. Do you blame your automaker when you get a flat tire? 🥴

But the FAA let them self regulate and as always the whistle-blower life is destroyed for having the courage to come foward

The transport secretary just stated they were already under a microscope when all these recent accidents have happened. They clearly have no control over the situation considering Boeing is a defence contractor.

Not a Boeing fan….but a lot of the recent incidents sounds like operational issues not manufacturing

All the Boeing staff seem to be committing ‘suicide’….😂😂😂😂

"Made in USA" height of American engineering 🤣🤣🤣

Kind of moronic to mention an incident caused by a tyre bursting on landing in the context of Boeing issues. They don't make the tyres.

I was half expecting you to interupt saying "boeing are being investigated" to we bring you breaking news "the department who were investigating have all tragically died in the last 3 hours from 6 gas leaks, 2 "self" inflicted gun shots and 16 cases of swimming in their clothes and accidently standing in some wet concrete and drowning" 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

Flysaifair Boeing 737-800 in South Africa also had landing gear issues at the end of April

You wouldn't catch me dead flying Boeing, because you would find me dead crashing in a Boeing. 😄 Funny but true.

Why not for 2 conspiracies and murder charges? 2 in less than a month...wtf?

The Alaska Airlines door plug incident involved a new airplane. The incident in Turkey was a blown tire. Boeing does not make tires. As far as I know airlines either maintain their own planes or contract it out. The plane in Senegal was an old 737 cause of incident under investigation. Many African airlines use older planes and maintenance can be an issue. Some are banned from flying outside Africa. I think Boeing is trying to right the ship. Everything that happens to a Boeing plane is not their fault.

Are you even fact checking yourselves? Spirit is a wholly separate, independent company. Spirit also makes Airbus parts. Spirit used to be a part of Boeing, but was spun off into an independent entity.

Let’s be clear here there are maintenance issues and there are manufacturing issues…. Tires and old 737s running off runways are not manufacturing issues….. I hate Boeing but let’s be real here!

Missing parts, faulty parts. What is a blow if not this?

In all fairness it’s not just Boeing, the main cause of these crashes are the airlines principal maintenance departments who fail to maintain, report and disclose these issues

I get the Max and 787 issues since they are new planes. But a 737-800 is nearly a 30 year old planes and so many hours and flights everyday, around the world. isn't this more of a maintenance issue with the airliner than it is with the manufacture?

⚡️ After seeing this video I think Boeing needs to vertical integrate the supply chain with strict quality controls.

2:39 sorry but the FAA said the plane was safe after the first MCAS crash and it happened again. The FAA then said it was safe again and then the door blew out…

When will the DOJ get involved. This is clearly profits over safety.

Isn't the safety record based on incident to flight hours? Most of a flight is at cruising. Would be interesting to compare that record with only the take-off and landing hours.

Remember, they are probably both due to the lack of proper maintenance from the airlines part.

Just to reiterate what a lot of people are saying here - aircraft which have been in service for a longer period of time experiencing landing gear failures really shouldn’t be mixed in with whistleblowing for a currently produced design. That’s a ridiculous generalisation. The decade old 767 and the 737 will have had many inspections and maintenance checks from the airline’s engineers or from their contracted engineering company. The responsibility isn’t all on Boeing for events like these - it’s the airlines and their engineers too. This report doesn’t tell the full story.

Why is it at the moment most of these issues are maintenance based not boeing basef

Oh please,years after sale. Those issues with any aircraft other than MAX’s are not Boeing’s responsibility

Boeing investigate itself and found no wrongdoing

Thank the heavens the plane's we have now are old versions, I'd never fly again if the wheel thing happened to a plane I'm on.

Safety first

The way reporters conduct interviews regarding aviation safety is borderline annoying to stupid. Peter Butigieg is secretary of transportation, he is not Boeing, he is not FAA, nor he is NTSB. What he must answer for, is that he is following political and social duties of holding accountable all the aforementioned entities to do their jobs seriously, Boeing to comply with safety standards, the FAA to oversee them, and the NTSB to investigate. He does not have a crystal ball to know wether Boeing will comply or not. All he can say is that he will ground their planes per rule of law if they don't. That stupid attitude of being overly inquisitive and presumptuous with every interviewee no matter their role just add white noise to the matter.

Spirit is a supplier for Boeing (and Airbus, others) not a subsidiary. The physical plant and much of the contacted work was once part of Boeing over 20 years ago, and likely will be again in a year or two, but not now.

Production since 2015 should be grounded

I’m a little confused here, the 737-300, 737-800, and 767 are all old planes which are no longer in production. They’re not really relevant to the current problems the company is causing.

2 tires? That maintenance not manufacturing? Whatt

What......... goodness PLEASE

I think such safety checks should already be done for every aircraft manufacturer before they start production. This could have been avoided if such checks were down by government organisations before Boeing starts shipping their aircrafts

The FedEx incident has nothing to do with being. That plane is a 767, very old and hasn't been in production for years. A plane designed and manufactured before the Boeing/Mcdonnel D merger. That incident is a pilot or FedEx maintenance issue.

It should be under investigation over so many people dead who said it's not good

I still don't understand why Alaska Airlines gets a pass on the door plug blowout. There were 3 separate incidents where the pressurization alerts went off in the cockpit and AA didn't ground the plane to check it out. Just say Boeing and the bell rings .

1:07 spirit is not a subsidiary of Boeing, it was and was spun off many years ago. It does work for Boeing and Airbus

These airplanes are older and this is a maintenance issue not a Boeing issue.

People call me suicidal but Boeing is the only plane I would fly.

I'm not a Boeing fanboy or anything but the media needs to calm down ....none of these incidents have anything to do with the 737 MAX nor 787 issues ...they are just incidents that happen to any manufacturer or any airline

Why always Boeing? Why not also the operator who’s responsible with the aircraft maintenance?

Oh for the good old days of the 747 that we all felt very safe in. What's that old saying about "if it ain't broke"?

Haven't heard a single update from South Carolina Police regarding the "suicide".

At this point… Boeing is being blamed for everything that happens to its planes. Most of these I’m sure are as a result of poor maintenance rather than a manufacturing issue.

Boeing a good metaphor for the US in general

The incidents that were mentioned in the beginning of this video are not a Boeing issues, those are airline maintenance issues or other factors. Yes, Boeing needs to get it together and lookover Spirit to have better control

You guys do know that these recent incidents are maintenance issues by the airlines, not Boeings fault. Lmao

He's literally answered neither of those questions.

People need to be let go immediately until this problem is fixed

It should have been obvious years ago when trump praised them that something was wrong.

This is concerning I’ve got my jollies next week. All the planes we’re flying on will be Boeing ones 😭😭

I will never fly any Boeing aircraft again.

I understand the Jan 5th incident , but how is this on Boeing’s fault? Boeing built those planes 15+ years ago .

How are any of those accidents with these aircraft related to Boeing?? All those incidents are piloting errors, maintenance issues and component failures. That fedex aircaft is over 10 years old, the nose gear not coming down is an aircraft maintenance problem not a design issue! Seriously start reporting properly! A tyre bursting is not a Boeing issue, Boeing don't make the tyres!

I downloaded an app online that lets me book airline flights without Boeing aircraft. I’m never going to fly on a Boeing airplane.

3:15 "The _safest_ mode of transportation"... Uh no, that would be flying on an Airbus.

Well a lot of this could also be maintenance related. Doesn't generally have to be Boeing. The Alaska one is Boeing fault or technically Spirit. But fault with tires/gear isn't abnormal. Nor is runway excursion. Runway excursion is most likely caused by pilot error and poor SOP

I mean the 737-300 is probably about 35 years old, built way before the MDD merger in 1997 which was when things started going downhill…this was likely an operational failure

Boeing really NEEDS to TAKE SERIOUSLY their QUALITY CONTROL checks. THIS is NOT going well for Boeing. As a customer myself, i'm getting scared with flying in their Airplanes. I love BOEING, I grew up watching 747s when Pan-Am was still in service and flew in their planes, but now it's like what's happening?? Please NO MORE short cuts in Quality Controls please Boeing! Please please please!

For those wondering, several years ago Boeing fired its Board and replaced them with Venture Capitalists. Profit Above All.

If it's a Boeing, I ain't going 👎

What!! These are all old planes, its the airline maintenance & pilot error at fault

For once, a politician that doest divert attention, explains stuff, admits when there's a problem, and can tanslate his thoughts into a comprehensive text.

Omg this is getting out of control 😮

I fail to see how an old -300 in Senegal of all places, not a location knows for its fastidious aviation safety record, has anything to do with current quality and safety issues at Boeing. And the 76 nosegear event hasn't even been fully investigated yet, this is just poor journalism, or a lack thereof, which in and of itself is no surprise these days.

These are maintenance problems and not Boeing problems. It's like blaming BMW for a flat tire 10 years after driving it off the lot.

Every incident listed here was the fault of airline maintenance or the pilots. If the media is going to blame Boeing for safety issues actually blame them for stuff they are responsible for. I don’t see BBC blaming airbus for the delta a321 fire that just occurred

How are any of these occurrences Boeings fault. Plane ran off a runway, Boeings fault? Tyre burst on landing, Boeings fault? Landing gear didn’t extend, Boeings fault? Like common, does the media have even any idea what they are reporting on? FFS as if these are not general maintenance or human errors from pilots 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😤😤😤

McDonnell Douglas isn’t doing too well

These all seems like maintenance issues than Boeing issue, since all of these planes are old.

He just said a bunch of beautiful words with no meaning!

runway overruns are not hugely uncommon, there are hundreds of different variables involved in the land/go-around decision, and sometimes pilots get it wrong, sometimes they are misinformed and sometimes their aircraft does not perform as expected, but the implication that a tyre burst followed by a runway excursion is somehow Boeing's fault is somewhat hard to swallow. There is a very legitimate story here, it probably has nothing to do with that excursion, and winding the two stories together feels a bit too sensational to me

Why is nobody talking about the 2 dead whisteblowers ?

Ok, so even though Boeing looks shady AF, don’t get too carried away with every incident being a manufacturing fault. There’s a 1 in 10,000 chance of a tyre blowing during takeoff, many issues are down to poor maintenance of the airlines or local mechanics. Don’t get too carried away scaremongering…

Most of these incidents are from poor maintenance from the carriers not boeing.

Who’s investigating? Where are any laws, rules, or regulations being enforced?

Ok, what has a tyre burst have to do with Boeing ?

He looks like Sheldon cooper....

Media conflating the incidents again. Great another whisltblower mentioned defective parts but fails on mentioning which model plane. Recent incidents being 2 clearly mechanical but could be influenced by poor maintenance. The run off plane can be run off caused by pilot error. TLDR: Clickbait

I like Pete, but the whole thing where the FAA allowed Boeing to conduct their own frickin inspections was imo a serious mistake. I realize people will say, it was just small stuff like bathroom signs etc…, but I guarantee that it went far beyond that.
