Boeing whistleblower who warned about plane safety flaws found dead. John Barnett, 62, of Louisiana, was found with an “apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” according to the coroner's report.
His family says he faced for years “a culture of concealment” that valued “profit over safety.” The Department of Justice has opened an investigation after the failure of a Boeing Dreamliner in January. Just on Monday, 50 people were injured after a sudden stopper on an Alaska Airlines flight.
