Boeing Whistleblower Testimony, 787 Dreamliner Safety Flaws
Boeing engineer Sam Salipour testified before a Senate committee, alleging that the company took manufacturing shortcuts on the 787 Dreamliner that could lead to structural failure. Salipour claimed he faced retaliation and threats after reporting that fuselage gaps were not properly closed. Other whistleblowers criticized the FAA for being "lazy and reactive" in its oversight of Boeing's production mess.
