Company rejects claims as 'inaccurate'
A Boeing whistleblower has called for the embattled aircraft manufacturer's fleet of 787s to be grounded for gap checks.with NBC Nightly News. The issue, he claims, is gaps in the fuselage, which, even though the fuselage is fastened together, are allegedly too big and could cause structural failure.
Boeing was quick to deny Salehpour's claims. During an event at Boeing's South Carolina plant this week, the company's chief engineer for mechanical and structural engineering, Steve Chisholm, insisted that the aircraft was safe and that the materials from which the jet was made had passed rigorous stress testing.
The issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight. This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns and the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades.
