"Boeing Faces New Whistleblower Allegations Over 787 Dreamliner Flaws"
TL;DR Summary
A Boeing engineer, Sam Salehpour, has raised concerns about the 787 Dreamliner's structural integrity, alleging that fuselage sections were improperly fastened together, potentially weakening over time and risking midflight breakage. Salehpour faced retaliation after voicing his concerns and has taken his allegations to the FAA, prompting an investigation. Boeing has refuted the claims, stating confidence in the 787's safety and durability, but Salehpour's testimony before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations next week adds to the company's ongoing challenges in salvaging its reputation following previous safety issues.
