LIVE: Boeing whistleblower testifies before Congress about defects in planes 

They couldn't afford another pr hit that's why he's still living.

@@playably ...for now

I was literally just saying didn't he die 3/24/24 or something like that... sheesh. This is getting scary

These people are really brave just because of this. I feel the fear and insecurity in their voice.

i hope this guy is already closed to retirement, and I really hope there would be some whitblower protection program. Too many of such people like him are later harassed and unemployable. Hope it will turn ok for him for his bravery.

guess what they got away with it move on

There needs to be criminal charges against capitalism then. That the only "rational" reason for the decline in quality - cost savings.

This won't happen as the corrupted government is protecting big corporations. If you have money in the US, you can get away with a manslaughter 😢

RU-vid scumbag censors are removing comments whenever you use the m**********r word around Boeing.

RU-vid censors are removing comments whenever you use harsh words around Beoing. For example you cannot use the m word for the 737 Max 8 tragedy.

Well said!

Which they accepted. Happily. With money. You are correct. That was 1997.

😂😂. That marriage was bad

Theold saying, McDonald Douglas bought Boeing with Boeings on money.

Hahaha....I love that!😅

I was thinking the same thing. 😔😥 It's terrifying.

This has been in my feed since it posted, but I've actively avoided watching it because I expect softball questions by legislators getting funding from Boeing for their next re-election and, at best, FAA officials who refuse to ask questions that would be appropriate but self-incriminating against the FAA. I have ZERO faith in the American government to properly address this issue, so this show-and-dance is all a facade. I'm only at the start of this video now because it's a sleepless 3 a.m. and maybe this video will be uneventful and long enough to drift me back to sleep 😴 💤

youtube did its best to bury this. i had to manually search for it on the AP channel.

This should be a real rage bait. Yet, this one RU-vid successfully supressed... grats

do you really belive companies with history and heritage have hight standard just because of it? obviously you never worked as engineer in a company that is supposed to bring profit.

Corporate rot. Cronyism not capitalism unfortunately

Um, yeah

​@@susanberbec1226 definitely sus.

That’s exactly what brought me to the comments 😮… that’s intentional. I’m going to look for this hearing somewhere else to see if it’s any different.

Missing Joe Jacobsen testimony (1)“The MAX crew alerting system doesn't meet current design standards, and by my count the old standard has contributed to eight fatal crashes of Boeing aircraft and 885 deaths? since 1996. Despite this dismal safety record, in July 2022, Boeing Chief Safety Officer Mike Delaney stated "I personally have no belief that there's any value in changing the 737." CEO Dave Calhoun lobbied further and said "This is a risk I'm willing to take. If I lose the fight, I lose the fight." Boeing lobbying efforts succeeded and the ACSAA legislative deadline for producing a compliant MAX crew alerting system was removed. Design unsafe conditions and inflight emergencies appeared almost immediately after the MAX returned to service. First, faulty electrical bonding and grounding, followed by a "bad batch" of stabilizer trim motors. Since then, on the design side, we've seen FAA identify unsafe conditions for the engines, the engine anti-ice system, and the standby power control unit. On the manufacturing side, FAA has identified unsafe conditions for engine anti-ice (EAl) exhaust duct fasteners, compromised sealant adhesion within the center fuel tank, and loose bolts in the rudder assembly. Since the door plug blowout, we've seen stuck rudder pedals and FAA has revealed another unsafe condition due to chafing of mis-installed electrical wire bundles to the wing spoilers. Rather than an immediate inspection to prevent uncommanded rolls, Boeing and FAA are proposing to allow up to three years, gambling on a slow chafing rate for improperly routed wire bundles.”

Joe Jacobsen missing testimony (2) The "grandfathered" design of the MAX leaves many vulnerabilities. When combined with a failure to investigate the manufacturing chaos identified nearly six years ago by Ed Pierson, this led to a predictable, but still shocking, list of unsafe conditions. In addition to the unsafe conditions, other MAX certification mistakes were identified and granted design exemptions by the FAA. The stall management yaw damper and the flap-slat electronics unit® aren't required to be fixed until March of 2027, leaving them vulnerable to effects of lightning and high intensity radiated fields (HIRF). Even when not identified by FAA as unsafe conditions, we've seen other serious incidents. On February 24, 2023, a brand new 737 MAX made an emergency landing after the horizontal.

this is what capitalism looks like - it drives greed. time for socialism and actually caring for people.

Where?

7:35

They are complicit

I agree,, I work in airline industry the crj and embraers never have issues like Boeing ,,

Boeing is in bed with the FAA

Its McDonnell Douglas…

Different guy

I was thinking the same thing! My Dad passed in 2020 and I thought this guy had passed before him. heh

Not for much longer.

Don't jinx it!

Maybe he's a decent guy who felt even worse about the previous whistle-blower who died last month.

Never-ever! 😂

Boston molasses flood. Company went belly up and it prompted new laws on safety inspections. .. off the top of my head.

you don't have a choice.

They will off him and life will go on. Just like the last guy!

24/6. Sundays will be his "rest days" quote - Federal Beauru of I 😂

Govt agencies enabled Boeing's bad practices by not doing their job. If they can't handle their limited role now, why would giving them full control help at all??

​@@blackosprey2219Financial incentives, do you ever see this type of rampant corruption in something like the USPS? No because the goal isn't to make money it's to keep the service running. We could nationalize Boeing and instead of giving billions to an idiot like Musk to make rockets that explode we could ensure that people with a moral backbone and years of qualifications like the people testifying here have the support and manpower they need to do their jobs.

It’s not Capitalism, it’s the same with Communism, the enemy is GREED . It will be the end of us. 😢

It flies without a problem until it doesn’t. It happened with the max 🤷‍♂️

It can take some time before problems pile up too much and something bad happens.

He literally talks about how the life cycle of the aircraft is reduced. The issue is that we have no idea when they will fail. When you bend a paperclip over and over, it doesn't break the first time.

You smoke fent small little gooooooofy

Who tf cares?
