This morning, Boeing launched the first flight of its Starliner into space carrying a two-person crew bound for the International Space Station. As with most of the headlines associated with Boeing these days, a problem developed almost immediately, with the craft developing a hydrogen leak that had previously been detected on the ground. It’s expected to be able to complete the mission, though. Back on the planet, the news for Boeing didn’t get any better. Two more whistleblowers have come forward to express their concerns about safety issues and production problems at the company’s manufacturing plants. One worked directly for Boeing while the other worked at its subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems. The concerns they are raising are similar to the ones we’ve heard from previous whistleblowers, including the two who died under questionable circumstances this year. (NY Post)
