Wtf happened at Boeing

Edit: aha, it is about this stuff https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68534703

Thats some real dystopian shit. Who in their right might would believe he killed himself?

[-] Oneser@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

The article above does not mention a cause of death

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 42 points 8 months ago

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Some hard-working quote marks there.

Realistically, probably just what it looks like. Guy is a decent human being, repeatedly tries to warn boeing of safety issues, gets ignored over and over, plane kills a bunch of people, guy kills himself because he feels responsible and those deaths weigh on his mind.

We don't know it was self inflicted, and I'd argue its still murder either way, but until more details are released there's no need to put his family through even more grief by spinning out conspiracy theories around his death.

After years of going after boeing he decided to off himself in a hotel car Park after traveling to a different town for the purpose of giving evidence against boeing?

Not fucking likely

[-] deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 8 months ago

with another deposition scheduled for Saturday... don't forget that part. he wasn't even done giving evidence.

[-] JimmyMcGill@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Why the fuck would he off himself just before I can actually testify against Boeing?? If he hadn’t managed to get the case to court or even after he had testified then I could see it, but this timing is suspicious AF. He could have died naturally and it’s just super bad timing but ain’t no way he killed himself at this point in time.

Also even if he was planning on committing suicide he probably wouldn't have done it in a hotel parking lot

[-] StereoTrespasser@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

People will tend to look for logic and patterns in the most senseless and chaotic of actions. We have no idea if he suffered from depression, was bipolar, had debts, or some serious health issues. People feel more in control when they can attach some nefarious (read: controlled) cause.

Oh! I thought this was that story about the pilot getting blamed the first time one of their planes nose dived into the ocean. Or was that a different company?

Michael Clayton type shit.

Quit juicing your shitty stock and fix your shitty fucking planes instead.

Boeing used to be synonymous with quality.

[-] EvilLootbox@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I was thinking Kill the Mesenger, the Jeremy Renner film about Gary Webb. Good movie

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Haven’t seen it, but now will watch. Thanks for the share. :)

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 21 points 8 months ago

Christ, think how bad the dirt would have to be for the stock prices to risk acting this blatantly.

[-] Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Number must go up! It can NEVER go down!

[-] THE_ANTIHERO@lemmy.today 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I know boing is an airplane company who causes accident and kills people by being too much of a cheapskeat . But who is The kremlin and what did they do ? (I geniunly don't know)

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

The white house but russian.

[-] kokopelli@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Russian rulers are often known for the “suicide by 2 bullet wounds in the back of the head” (which is impossible).

I thought The Kremlin was a Russian ruler but no, it looks like that’s the fortress that the ruler lives in (like the White House)

This is conspiratorial garbage. Like it's so unbelievable that an American shot themselves, only happens about 40 thousand times a year.

John Barnett killed himself. So did Gary Webb. So did Jeffery Epstein.
