BREAKING NEWS: Boeing Airline Whistleblower Testifies Before Senate Homeland Security Committee 

*Whistleblowers need to be provided body guard protection while their testifying is ongoing.*

We, need to get rid of Black Rock and Vanguard!....PERIOD!

My friend died in the boeing crash over ethiopia. Very thankful for whistleblowers coming forward.

Someone is about to fall down the stairs or have a heart attack.

The last one had an accident..... these whistle blowers need protection.

He was NOT suicidal!

Hopefully he and his colleagues wont have any 'accidents' in the near future or at least till the full report is released.

"Committed suicide?" Oh, puhleeze!

John Barnett didn't kill himself.

If it's ain't Airbus. Im takin the bus.

Can we even trust our politicians to.Investigate this?

Turns out "Made in the USA" isn't any better than "Made in China" ROFLMAO!

I hope he will survive the next few weeks. He needs 24/7 protection now.

THANK YOU to these brave people for standing up to a huge corporate power. Our government must PROTECT THESE WHISTLEBLOWERS.

You'd think the top people would be arrested as this sounds like a murder/conspiracy

I give these whistleblowers about 4-6 weeks before Boeing goes after them.

The top shareholders of Boeing are Timothy J. Keating, Leanne G. Caret, Theodore Colbert, Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock Inc. (BLK), and Newport Trust Co. This are the real responsible individuals. Those are the ones who need to be subpoenaed and to testify in public. Specially when boeing have 25 billion tax payers money in government contracts

I worked for Boeing for 35 years And I was an inspector For the company And at no time do I feel Safety was ignored. I did my job I did it well. When Boeing merged with McDonald Douglas They brought in a whole new set of characters that wanted to run Boeing All of them had All of them had just ran McDonald Douglas out of business for some reason These These people started running Boeing into the ground and I thought to myself They're going to do to Boeing what they did to McDonald Douglas Because money means more to them than anything So they they started pushing the schedule And I retired

I AM SPEECHLESS - i think i will never fly another Boeing plane in my life

Wow - Boring is in a world of hurt. MBA vs Engineers in charge there. Stocks before Safety. I will stick with Airbus

Turn the whistleblower into a streamer. 24/7😅

If its a boeing, I aint going.

Did he REALLY just say he "committed suicide "?

Boeing needs to be stripped back bare to its foundations and start again with no shareholders and no corporate business people who have no experience in the aviation industry only people should be in control is experience people who are engineers with knowledge and experience and knows about quality and safety

They must hire good mechanics with a mechanical aptitude test before hiring someone off the street.. Been an aircraft mechanic most of my life.. I've seen people that should never be around any aircraft at anytime....

Yet ANOTHER example of how big corps and big govt don’t give two $hits about the people. Negligence, incompetence, and corruption. Disgusting.

This is sad. Grew up from the 50's on around Boeing in Everett and this was rarely a problem until they moved the corporate offices to corrupt Chicago and out of the Seattle area. Quality has gone down ever since they moved those offices.

Why is a guy with an accountant degree running an aerospace company. Really

How refreshing and nice to listen to one of these congressional hearings where both sides have a respectful and coherent conversation. As a fellow engineer (surgical robotics), the importance of ethics and understanding one’s impact on others’ safety cannot be understated. Ultimate respect for this man and other whistleblowers.

Perhaps if Congress passed a law that the Boeing CEO and and other top execs can only fly Boeing.

"Not kept promises made 5 years ago". Well, you expect an arrogant bastard to keep a promise?

of course it's comprised of 'care-takers' and not 'owners' that's what you've all wanted not the best man for the job but ticking boxes

Use “Names” not they, not management, not superiors. John Barnett - whistleblower died Ed Pierson and Joe Jacobson- whistleblower got fired Sam Salehpour - at senate hearing Shawn Pruchnicki - Accident Investigator Dave Calhoun - CEO Now I need names of managers who threatened them. Names of people who killed John Barnett. “Names = Accountability”.

Sounds like the literall mafia runs boeing lol im not flying one for a while air bus all day for me

the best docu on this problem is by Al Jazeera and its called BROKEN DREAMS

You know that guy didn’t self delete

Airbus should hire Salehpour.

Richard Feynman's approach to exposing these vital safety issues needs to be studied and implemented. No-one could fail to understand his ice water demonstration of the Space Shuttle 'o' rings. That is, a simple, visual approach that the layman can immediately understand. Lastly, accountability, whether it leads to civil or criminal consequences, needs to be applied, from the Boardroom on down, and be seen to be done. Reward for whistle blowers should also be applied, with the same rigour. Enough deception, sticking plasters and whitewash. People have behaved disgracefully, as well as some who have acted heriocally, and this needs to become headline news and easily accessed public knowledge. Do your jobs, with as much pride as the workers, "Executives".

none of this means nothing if parties are not send to prison,just more waste of taxpayer dollars,again.

This reminds me of McDonnell Douglas and the DC-10 issues back in the 1970s.

he should have said in public "if i die soon i wasn´t a suicide"

Airbus ❤

"We want boeing to succeed" Yeah typical of sleazy politicians, who can not separate their responsability for human lives from being corporate cheerleaders. If a company is reckless, it deserves serious punishment, or others will take the same "risk".

Why isn't MSM talking to Nikki Haley about this ?? What happened to the everyday x 2 interview?? 😂 Crickets.

How does the senator expect the public not to panic when knowing when they fly corners have been cut and safety has been compromised. Start supplying parachutes? The greed from these airlines is plain to see by all. Increasing flight costs during holidays. Charging for luggage separately. Charging for boarding first. Greed greed greed. And the senate talk talk talk

All part of the COLLAPSE🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋

This could sink this arms manufacturing behemoth. The lack of respect for human life trumped by overwhelming greed is an abomination worthy of demons not other humans imo.

It's all about profits not about people. Another 100million to the CEO on the backs of cheap labor. Stop the dollars to the CEO 's.

We Need Men and Women of INTEGRITY To STAND UP AND SPEAK. To Not go along with corrupt, immoral systems. We are nose diving across the board in this country. It's scary and it's a shame. Where we are as a country and as a people is FAR from where we should be. We've been sold out for greed. There is something foul in our Land🇺🇸🧐😠

Senator Johnson's a bit arrogant; he starts out saying there's a discrepancy between our two witnesses and yet later on when the one witness is explaining in detail. The manufacturing defect contributing to the crash of the 737 Max's Johnson interrupts him and tells him that's too much detail and it's lost on him. How? What is being explained to him? Is that the manufacturing or parts issue the detector is in addition to the design and emacass flaw. I actually just threw in the design flaw. They don't even get to that: that being the fact that 737 Max's our Frankenstein airplanes independent of everything else fundamentally aerodynamically flawed having been given a giant boob job with their engines, enlarged thrust together and forced upwards. Just like a boob job, it puts stress on the tailbone in a woman or not. The tailbone but the lumbar region so too it causes the plane to tilt upward the root of all these problems

1:06:19 into video. “Wind tunnel testing with composites”, what again would that prove? Did he not listen to the testimony? Multi factor, systemic safety culture failures across the company.

"Suicide"

"We need them to succeed because..." you have stocks and shares and lobbying from them

I wonder if these whistleblowers will live? They should start their testimony with "I have no wish to commit suicide."

How sad to be threaten at work and harassed, it's just dangerous for all.

The committee should invite Allen Mulally former CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes to testify about Boeing difficulties. He is one best leaders of the company and was well respected by the entire workforce. His views are seriously needed at this time.

Boeing makes money from both the civilian world, and the “US Government world”. Interesting theory: ever since Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed, etc- and specifically SpaceX- has been adding much more to Boeing’s competition, I wonder if they’ve shifted more of their focus (financial and diligence) to the military sector, taking away from the civilian sector. ….🤔 I’m also sure the DEI bureaucracy has negatively contributed to the lack of diligence and funding to repairs and upgrades made to the civilian sector planes.

This is Greed. The 737 has been flying almost flawless for decades. My thing is if it's not broken don't fix it. Seems to me someone tried to build airplanes very cheap. Guilty as charged. The Feds are going to have to grab up Boeing and put the right people who love what they do and it shows.🛫✈️

"The gold standard has become fools gold" The old guard actually cared about quality and reputation.

PERSON OF WISDOM HAS INFINITE WAYS TO MAKE PLANE SAFER

This is beyond Shameful, abhorrent corporate behavior. Boeing is now seen for who and what they are. How could this ever have been condoned ?

WHAT ABOUT THE WHEEL THAT FELL OF A PLANE IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Someone in the FAA must be held accountable to pay fines and go to jail for trusting Boeing with doing their own maintenance without oversight.

I don’t think anyone thinks it was suicide.

If you're short on time why is he speaking so slow and adding in subtle threats to pre-intimidate the whistleblowers.

Makes it scary to fly anymore. My family lives 1200 miles away. Too far to drive, too scary to fly. Almost all airlines use Boeing.

Are there any people from the transportation department there?

This is outrageous!

THANK U FOR EVERYONE FOR COMING FORTH. SAFE FLYING ISSSSS SOOOO IMPORTANT. THANK U

money over people or over safety? seems a systemic problem. who knows how many more bosses like he described are out there. I bow to this brave man

Riveting

Yes it only makes sense

Legit whistleblowers must be protected at all costs, as they try to protect us from out of control monolithic powers.

Admerable of this man coming forward. He needs to be in protective custody and boeing to be investigated until these people are jailed/imprisoned. I would not rule out the death sentance for the boening ceo's of knowingly writing off safty issues on a jet, thats attemted murder, and count all the victems, one dead=one life sentance...

Sorry I'm not getting on a Boeing

When accountants set aircraft design parameters, backup systems & safety are cut.

Boeing management probably "looked after" government agencies that were supposed to watch over them very well... looks like they are turning a blind eye to many safety issues

The fortunate one in Boeing is the CEO, why? You messed up and get rewarded

lotsa DC shlubs got gifts from Boeing too - some already retired - time for Defazio and others to come forward and return the questionable money

Airbus stock price...📈 Boeing stock price...📉

You shim the gaps to prevent stress corrosion. But materials have a threshold stress for stress corrosion. If the stress you're creating by preloading the part is below that threshold and also doesn't add to some operating stress and create a negative margin then you're fine. Also, there is conservatism in the design. And that's why they can test the thing to five lifetimes and it's still fine. But if a mechanic does want to deviate from established procedures then they really should get an OK from Stress - especially if this problem is coming up a lot.

So much posturing, going through the motions but can we expect chrges against those responsible and major changes? Nah. It's just a dog and pony show. So tired of watching criminals, tyrants and traitors slide by unaffected.

The biggest problem in aircraft are the ridiculous move rates that they put on the aircraft. When you have mechanics and inspectors working anywhere from 60 to almost 100 hours a week to get aircraft out guess what, their gonna make mistakes. And 60 hours is usually done without working the weekends.

Two failing prosses can save each other.

All of Boeings leadership. And statisticaly significant voting stock holders need to be required to fly only on these problem planes.

I bet they regret all those race hires.

Save it

About time

I am skipping Boeing for now.

Danm I like it alot BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL IN JESUS NAME AMEN

These Senators are just HAPPY they don't have to officiate over any TRIAL$

Oh no!

All Talk No Action 😆😆

Crooked FAA

Take a look at Lockheed martin contracts how they hiding

I appreciate all the whistle blowers comments, they're right. An overall, top level problem at Boeing is: "Technical Arrogance" that has been instilled over decades of Boeing management driving the FAA's "oversight bus".. This aspect permeates all the way down through the management structure.

If Boeing has the best staff in the WORLD why are we here addressing the gross negligence by their staff and owners? Unreal 😂😂😂

Why this case is not handled by FBI?

one Correction, "John Barnett" did not commit suicide it was a hit job to take him out.

Didn’t the last Boeing whistleblower have an accident??
