Topic: 787 Dreamliner

An Al Jazeera investigative report features Boeing employees in South Carolina expressing deep distrust in the 787 Dreamliner aircraft they build. The report alleges that quality concerns are frequently suppressed and that some workers are underskilled or under the influence of drugs. Ten out of fifteen workers surveyed stated they would not fly on the planes they manufactured.

Commentator Ian Carroll discusses the death of John Barnett, noting the suspicious timing of the alleged suicide during an active legal battle with Boeing. Barnett's allegations included the use of broken parts from scrap bins and a 25% failure rate for oxygen masks on the 787 Dreamliner. Carroll suggests the legal discovery process may have uncovered information that led to Barnett's death.
