'I want to prevent accidents': When Boeing whistle -blower Sam Salehpour warned a year ago about 'catastrophic' event | Today news

Air India Plane Crash: The Air India plane that crashed in Ahmedabad a few minutes after the take -off was a Boeing 787 Dreamliner – a model that has already expressed whistleblowers. In 2024, Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour’s concerns about the design of the 787 Dreamliner -Jet the US federal authorities started an investigation into the company, says several reports of that year. He claimed last year that Boeing used ‘shortcuts’ to make the hull of the aircraft model. A year later, a bad Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft crashed from Air India in Ahmedabad and took away lives of 241 people on board and injured others, while it fell on a building full of people. However, the cause of the aircraft accident has not yet been identified as the authorities are investigating the deadly accident. Whistleblower warned against ‘catastrophic’ event in its formal complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration, which was made public in April 2024, Sam Salehpour claimed that the crews collected by the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft could not fill small gaps while taking together the manufactured parts of the buses. While Boeing claims that his 787 aircraft have 50 years of life, this error can carry more on the plane, he claims. That would mean that the life of the aircraft would be shortened, resulting in “catastrophic events”, Salehpour’s advocates said. The Air India plane that crashed on Thursday works for 11 years. “I don’t do this because I want Boeing to fail, but because I want it to succeed and prevent accidents,” Salehpour told reporters last year. “The truth is that Boeing can’t continue as it is. It should do a little better, I think, ‘he added. It was seen how people jumped up and down the allegations made by Salehpour last year were not entirely new and the FAA had Boeing to deliver the Dreamliner aircraft for almost two years, from 2021, while investigating possible shortcomings. Boeing claimed to have “incorporated the connection and verification activity” into the production system. But Salehpour attorneys said the FAA was surprised to see through its complaint that the shortcomings were still a problem. “I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the plane to align them,” Salehpour said. “By jumping up and down, you deform parts so that the holes are temporarily aligned … and that’s not how you build a plane.”
