The Boeing 777 whistleblower saga, marred by deaths and controversy, unveils a disturbing narrative that shakes the foundations of trust between its passengers and its builders.

If you've heard about this story but aren't fully caught up, let's take a deep dive into the heart of this controversy.

Though the aviation giant is claiming that “Safety and quality remain at the root of Boeing’s values,” it's string of  a copious amount of maintenance issues seems to say otherwise. 

Emergency landings, fasteners missing, tires and door stoppers falling off mid-flight, and many more issues paint a much darker story than the Boeing company is willing to admit to.

Joshua Dean was an auditor for Boeing's manufacturer. He filed a complaint with the FAA after finding safety concerns with improperly drilled holes. 

The complaint was filed in late 2022, and by April 2023, he was fired for missing errors in the audit. However, Joshua claims it was an excuse to get rid of him for filing the complaint. 

In sudden news, he passed in May 2024 following complications related to a bacterial infection. This was now the second whistleblower in three months to pass mysteriously.

John Barnett worked for 32 years as a quality officer for Boeing. He relayed safety concerns to management and felt passenger safety was being jeopardized to produce planes quicker. 

He also helped build another case against Boeing, informing media of potential issues with wiring and oxygen systems, and faulty parts being installed to prevent production delays.

He missed a scheduled interrogation and was later found deceased in his truck from an alleged "self-inflicted" gunshot wound. 

Barnett's family believes this was no suicide, claiming the circumstances felt suspicious. He was set to go to trial in June and was eager to take the stand against Boeing. 

It's hard to say  what will happen next in the Boeing saga, but for now, the plane is required to stay permanently grounded until more answers surface.
