John Barnett, a 62-year-old longtime Boeing employee who went public with safety concerns about the 787 Dreamliner, died a day after sitting for a deposition with the company’s lawyers on March 9 this year.

His lawyers raised the alarm after he failed to show up for a deposition in Charleston, South Carolina. 

A coroner’s report preliminarily said he died from a “self-inflicted” wound, but the Charleston Police Department is still making inquiries.

A “close family friend” of Barnett, who gave her name only as Jennifer to ABC News 4 claimed he had told her not to believe any reports of his suicide before his death.

Remember when the car companies cut back on safety to enhance their profit margins . . . same game.

Fine beoing and put the CEO in jail along with bord mangers.

They get the big bucks so they should do time when lives are lost and endangered due to parts not passed for use.

Boeing may avoid criminal charges over violations

Should we be surprised, given Boeing is part of the military industrial complex and manufactures weapons?

Yes, but I can't remember his name. They're dropping like flies. Pure coincidence, of course.

Can you imagine any foreign company doing exactly the same violations in the USA? They would be cancelled on the spot. Boeing went and killed a few hundred persons, because of greed and complaisance, yet there are barely any consequences for them .

There would be hearings but if there was no domestic competitor, we'd be back in line for purchases. No CEO gets locked up for software errors.

Yet another cover up on the way .....3---2----1.....No one will be prosecuted, we all know that by now, Boeing are more or less a criminal company operating under their own rules, and with no consequences.
