"Boeing Whistleblower Raises Alarming Safety Concerns About 787 Dreamliner Jets"

Boeing is facing whistleblower claims from engineer Sam Salehpour that its 787 Dreamliner planes have structural flaws that could lead to them breaking apart, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Salehpour alleges that shortcuts in the construction process have compromised the plane's fuselage, while previous whistleblowers have raised concerns about production practices. Boeing strongly disputes the claims, stating confidence in the 787's safety, but the allegations come amid a series of safety-related challenges for the company. The Senate committee is set to hold a hearing on "Boeing's broken safety culture," and Salehpour's lawyer asserts that the company prioritizes production over safety.
