red750 Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I watched an episode of the American TV show Last Week Toight with John Oliver, which piled heaps of shit on a number of subjects, with the biggest heap saved for Boeing. The full episode is on Youtube at this address. It's worth watching to hear the comments of quite a few Boeing employees. Seven out of ten said they woould not fly on the Dreamliner. One said he would but had a death wish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Boeing whistleblower & former employee John Barnett was found dead. The day before his death he had been giving evidence at a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing. He died from a self inflicted wound on 9/3/24. He had been due to answer further questions that day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboplanner Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Can a dead person give evidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Generally, No. I believe written statements from deceased persons can be presented in a court of law, but the statements are subject to exhaustive examination, and only those statements of facts that can be proven, are allowed to be admitted. Statements deemed to be hearsay are excluded. U.S. law may be somewhat different. Some of the claims made by John Barnett about Boeing management failures have already been investigated, and found to be true. Laxity in procedures seems to rule at Boeing.

So there would be reason to expect that if he was asked more questions he may have provided more truths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfly Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) This recent (30 min) video history of the B727 has a sting in its T-tail for today's Boeing Company. Edited March 14 by Garfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Had an incredible of redundancy available. IF you weren't Trained properly it would bite you. Lots of drag with all that flap. You could land one from 10,000 ft on downwind if you had to., Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
