The next incident occurred in 2019 when, as The New York Times reported in an exposé at the time, John Barnett, a former quality manager who retired in 2017, revealed that he had filed a whistleblower complaint, alleging sloppy work around the wires that connect the planes’ flight control systems, with metal shavings being left behind when bolts were fastened. The risk existed that the shavings would penetrate the wires’ insulation, leading to consequences that Barnett called “catastrophic.”

Barnett also alleged that damaged or substandard parts were being installed in 787s, including a dented hydraulic tube that a senior manager retrieved from a bin of what was supposed to contain scrap. The FAA inspected several 787s that were said to be free of the shavings Barnett reported and found that they were indeed there。

靠，美国制造。怎么搞的啊。这是人命啊。

检举人承受不了压力，自杀身亡。波音树大根深，无可奈何。

At 9:42am on March 9, a hotel staff member heard a gunshot.
At 10am, Barnett's attorney called the hotel asking for a wellness check.
He was found dead shortly afterward in the hotel parking lot in his truck, with a single gunshot wound to the head.
He had his legally-owned pistol in his hand, with his finger still on the trigger, and left a suicide note in the passenger seat, on which he wrote, "I can't do this any longer" and "I pray Boeing pays."
