In a concerning turn of events, a Boeing engineer has come forward with shocking allegations about the safety of the 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Sam Salehpour claims that changes to the fuselage assembly process have led to issues with how the large sections of the plane's body are being fastened together.
Salehpour alleges that these improper fastening techniques could ultimately cause the Dreamliner's fuselage to break apart mid-flight, after thousands of trips. Boeing has acknowledged the manufacturing changes, but insists there is no immediate safety risk.
However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating Salehpour's claims, and a U.S. Senator has announced plans for a public hearing to hear the engineer's concerns directly. This latest controversy adds to the ongoing scrutiny of Boeing's safety culture and manufacturing practices.
This video breaks down the full details of the allegations, Boeing's response, and the investigations that have been launched. Stay informed on this developing story that could have major implications for the future of the 787 Dreamliner program.
