Quick Glance: Boeing Whistleblower Calls for Grounding All 787 Dreamliners
- A whistleblower from Boeing is pressing for the grounding of all 787 Dreamliners currently in operation worldwide, as the long-haul aircraft could potentially 'fall apart' at the joints.
- Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at Boeing, publicly expressed concerns about the Boeing 787 and 777 jets last week. In an exclusive TV interview with NBC Nightly News, Salehpour reiterated his allegations and called for all Dreamliners to be taken out of service and inspected for small gaps in the fuselage.
- He alleges that Boeing opted for cost-saving shortcuts and reduced assembly bottlenecks during the construction of the 787 and 777 jets. Salehpour warns that the fuselage sections of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly connected, with small gaps present at the joints.
- Following internal discussions with Boeing where he claimed aircraft safety was compromised, the engineer filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January. Boeing, however, maintains confidence in the safety of the 787 Dreamliner, stating that the allegations 'are inaccurate and do not represent the comprehensive work Boeing has done to ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft.'

Quick Glance: New York inmates' legal action over solar phenomenon
- Prisoners in a New York correctional facility have taken legal action as the state's Department of Corrections announced restrictions that would hinder their observation of the upcoming total solar eclipse next week.
- The six individuals incarcerated at Woodbourne Correctional Facility are asserting that preventing them from witnessing this rare astronomical occurrence would infringe upon their religious rights as outlined in the constitution.
- The impending solar eclipse is scheduled for Monday afternoon and was last visible in the United States back in 2017. It will not be observable in the country again until 2044.
- A representative from the Department of Corrections informed ABC News that they refrain from commenting on ongoing legal matters but emphasized that the lockdown's purpose is to prioritize the "safety" of both the inmates and prison staff.
