Boeing is under intense scrutiny as Congress holds back-to-back hearings to investigate allegations of safety failures at the aircraft manufacturer. The first session featured an expert panel highlighting serious flaws in Boeing's safety culture.
The main focus of the second hearing was a Boeing engineer's claims that sections of the skin on 787 Dreamliner jets are not properly fastened, posing a risk of breakage. The engineer, a whistleblower named Sam Salehpour, alleged that Boeing ignored his concerns and hindered him from addressing the defects with experts.
