Boeing: How much trouble is the company in?
The US plane giant is under pressure from regulators and airlines, and its reputation is badly damaged.www.bbc.com
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was found dead in his car with a gunshot wound to his head on the same day he was due to testify against the aircraft manufacturer.
The mysterious incident happened as the company’s stock has nosedived, fueled by a series of incidents including a door plug which flew off a 737 MAX 9 operated by Alaska Airlines at 16,000 feet on Jan. 5 and a wheel falling off a 777 jet a few weeks later.
This led the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) to investigate and discover “unacceptable” quality control issues.
While Barnett’s death has raised many eyebrows, it is far from the first incident involving the company’s workers.
Here we take a look back at some of Boeing’s biggest scandals.
