CONSPIRACY THEORY: Aviation Industry Whistleblowers

Описание

John Barnett spent 32 years at Boeing before going public with alarming claims about faulty oxygen masks, substandard parts, and a corporate culture that punished anyone who dared to speak up. In March 2024, in the middle of giving deposition testimony against the company, he was found dead in a hotel parking lot from a gunshot wound. Less than two months later, Joshua Dean, a 45-year-old quality auditor who had flagged the very manufacturing defects Boeing later admitted to, died within two weeks of a sudden infection after being perfectly healthy. Both men shared the same attorney, both had documented retaliation, and a manager had once told Barnett he would push him until he broke. In the aftermath, more than ten new whistleblowers came forward. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson examines what Boeing knew, how it treated the people who tried to expose the truth, and the unsettling question the company has never answered: why do the people who speak up keep dying?Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Conspiracy Theories, Cults, and Crimes to never miss a case!
