from The National Pulse:
An engineer from Boeing, Sam Salehpour, warned members of the United States Senate on Wednesday of a potential loss of hundreds of lives if quality issues at the aviation giant are not resolved urgently.
In testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigations subcommittee, Salehpour claimed Boeing’s negligent disregard for concerns raised by employees and hostility to safety endangers passengers’ and crews’ lives. He specifically highlighted faults with over 1,000 Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets currently in service that could lead to premature fatigue failure.

When Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) asked if Boeing planes are safe, Salehpour warned that it is only a matter of time before one of the company’s planes is responsible for a catastrophic aviation disaster. “It’s like an earthquake. The big earthquake is coming, and when that hits, the building has to be prepared to accommodate that kind of—let’s say—shake-up. It has to be built properly,” the Boeing engineer responded. Salehpour continued: “Right now, from what I’ve seen, the airplanes are not being built per spec and per requirement.”
Salehpour went on to testify that Boeing’s 787 and 777 lines are especially concerning as the company is “doing stuff” that increases risk factors. “When you increase the risk factors, it’s not just one. You are doing stress concentrations,” the engineer said. He explained that while components might not break initially, after additional stresses, the odds of a failure increase dramatically.
After raising concerns about the production and safety protocols surrounding the 787 and 777 lines, Salehpour told Sen. Hawley that superiors at Boeing threatened him, then sidelined, and finally transferred. Reacting to these allegations, Boeing officials stated that Salehpour’s claims about the Dreamliner are “inaccurate,” maintaining that the 787 and 777 lines continue to be safe.
