The latest from our star Boeing reporter Maureen Tkacik: turns out a whistleblower said it would take 10-12 years for 787s to start failing. The one that crashed into an Indian hospital today was built in 2014. prospect.org/economy/2025...
One of the Dreamliners That Gave a Boeing Manager Nightmares Just Crashed
Whistleblowers always warned that passengers would pay a price for Boeing’s tyrannical corner-cutting, especially with the planes shipped overseas.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
