Summary

The family of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, who died by suicide in 2024, is suing Boeing, alleging that harassment and intimidation after he raised safety concerns about the 787 Dreamliner plant in Charleston, South Carolina, led to his death.

Barnett, a quality manager for nearly 30 years, reported safety issues such as metal shavings near control wires and faulty oxygen systems.

The lawsuit claims Boeing’s conduct caused severe mental distress, including PTSD and depression, resulting in his suicide.

Boeing expressed condolences but has not commented further.

    Where and when did we fucking go wrong?

    we keep voting for the lesser evil because we keep swallowing propaganda like “voting 3rd party is unrealistic” and “we have the best system in the world”.
