Despite being a prominent name in the military-industrial complex, Boeing has been under scrutiny due to various incidents. Two whistleblowers from Boeing passed away under mysterious circumstances, adding to the company’s troubles. Some employees have even raised concerns about potential falsification of inspection records at a Boeing plant in South Carolina.
In one incident, a Boeing 737 in Turkey faced landing gear issues, causing the front gear to buckle upon landing. Another 737 in Senegal crashed during takeoff, resulting in injuries to several passengers. Additionally, a Boeing cargo plane operated by FedEx had to make an emergency landing in Istanbul after a landing gear malfunction.
Boeing’s CEO announced his resignation amid declining trust in the company’s planes, with travelers reportedly avoiding flights on Boeing aircraft. The company has a history of past incidents, including the crash of a 737 in Ethiopia in 2019 and a settlement in 2021 for concealing design flaws in its planes.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently investigating Boeing’s practices, particularly at the South Carolina plant. Despite Boeing’s encouragement for whistleblowers to come forward, the recent deaths of two whistleblowers have raised suspicions.
