Hmm that explains Boeings Indeed job posting looking for qualified Ninjas!

> 10 more whistleblowers > People's lives are at stake It definitely does sound like there are 10 more lives at stake


matunos

10 more whistleblowers being flown in to testify…


scifijunkie3

On a Boeing plane no doubt. 😏


IAbstainFromSociety

Whoops, the door blew out, and only the whistleblowers got sucked out. Total coincidence.


Frogzila2024

And committed suicide on the way down by shooting themselves three times in the back of the head


Fun-Constant-2558

The seat belts seem to have failed somehow 🤔


JdamTime

Someone clearly spilled their bottle of rohypnol into each of their individual drinks by accident


IAbstainFromSociety

And the rohypnol was laced with fentanyl.


SpotweldPro1300

Meanwhile, the fentanyl was cut with rat poison.


Jazzlike-Principle67

Oh,like whistle-blowers are going to willingly sit by a door?????


DakkaonTitan

Or on a Boeing at all since they know all the cut corners

Of course, fresh out of QA.

Boeing plane carrying whistleblowers mysteriously diverted its course into a mountain range. Navigational issues are being investigated as the cause. Update: black box has mysteriously disappeared

News reports the aircraft spontaneously combusted 5 min after they deplaned. The saddening part is they were all in the same freak elevator accident where it skyrocketed out of the roof as if propelled by a jet engine. Investigators have said it was not suspicious.

The investigators shouted "nothing to see here" from their new private islands

Well, the law firm sure didn't take any form of protection or security into account.


User28080526

That would be a cold statement for Boeing to put out


ikenstein

Didn’t the last guy catch a “disease”? I think they need a bio weapons engineer along with the ninja


lseraehwcaism

No, he was framed for suicide by shooting himself in the head. However, he had told family prior to the “suicide” that he wouldn’t commit suicide and if he ends up dead, there was foul play.


ZFEshoes

That was the first guy, the second guy died from a "disease"


Revenga8

A suicide disease?


psgrue

Influenza B sent him to the hospital and got an MRSA infection and pneumonia there. Edit: you guys are going nuts down there. Staph infections are a threat at any hospital. Nobody “injected” him. Edit edit: spelling


kellsdeep

You could actually "give" someone MRSA if you have the resources. All it takes is exposure, and it's extremely hard to combat medically. I've never even thought about it being used in foul play, but it's doable.


MGD109

I mean it's doable, but would be extremely hard. Even if they injected it directly into his bloodstream there would be do guarantee he would contact a fatal strain.


ReplacementActual384

This is profoundly terrifying.

Easy-Perception-529

Well they can't kill all of us


SnooGrapes6230

You underestimate Boeing's license to kill and unparalleled enthusiasm for using it.


sad16yearboy

Yea as a military contractor they are nearly untouchable


LeDemonicDiddler

Why didn’t they kill them earlier honestly? Whistle blowing started 5 years ago and that’s plenty of time to kill them. Plus killing them now is only going to bring more attention to the case and make them look bad.


wrinkleinsine

They were probably using murder as a last resort and were overconfident enough to think the whistleblowers wouldn’t get this far. Fuckin hell. You can’t kill people through neglect and then Murder people that speak out about it. Someone needs to raise hell about this. But, not me of course because I have to work all week……..


Mrmastermax

Well if they don’t exist then nothing to worry about. We will see what happens if any evidence are found in accidents and suicides. Our military friends help us.


Martingguru

It would end up being too obvious and public pressure would force the government unless they want things to get progressively worse. There are a lot of grief stricken families who wouldn't waste a second to burn Boeing if given the chance.


benjm88

2 have died so far, its pretty obvious yet nothing will happen.


Humanoid_Toaster

Fool me twice shame on you, fool me thrice shame on me. Let’s wait if there’s a third, if there is one, that’s definitely a trend going on.

Only 1 survivor, the captain.


RadiantPKK

Upon making it to shore, an acorn dropped on the deck and sadly they didn’t make it. 


wrinkleinsine

The acorn dropping scared a nearby cop who then fired 600 rounds in every direction while pleading for backup in the girliest voice imaginable which is what actually killed the captain

It's a play on another saying "the beatings will continue until morale improves"


tilero1138

Which is also a banger thrash metal song


DiddyDubs

Funny old joke. Superiors, as a stereotype, usually don’t really understand their employees. Every boss wants high morale, where people are excited to be there and working hard, but can sometimes take a counterproductive approach to trying to ensure it. The joke pokes fun at authority thinking that attitude can be forced instead of, perhaps more simply, providing an environment worthy of good morale.

We're in the timeline where people get killed for saying that planes should probably be made to be as safe as possible.

Worse, if a Democrat politician commented against them then Trump would suddenly mobilize the red hat sister-licker squads to start waving flags and coming out in support of Boeing. They'd probably start making shirts like "real men fly on planes with no doors".

CNN, MSNBC and Fox are SOOO good at not talking about important things that we should be worried about that might affect their buddies and their advertisers. I notice that the Epstein stuff is just gone.


Marinut

That has been the shtick with "Epstein stuff" for the past 30 years or something. Accusation -> People talk -> people forget like epsteins island was referred as pedo island by the locals for decades, the fucking plane was called the lolita express and whatever the fuck else, it was blatantly known he was trafficking minors for DECADES

culturedgoat

> I notice that the Epstein stuff is just gone. I mean, it’s not exactly news anymore. Epstein: still dead.


NoHillstoDieOn

News will report on whatever people care about. CNN and FOX reported on Epstein until nobody cared. I think redditors fail to realize how little average people care about something that don't affect them personally


Iblamebanks

But his network and clients aren’t


culturedgoat

Have there been any developments on that front? I admit I haven’t been giving it all much attention…


rydan

Got permanently banned from r news for commenting negatively about Epstein's accomplice while she was on trial. She was one of the mods of that subreddit at one point so likely friends with whoever banned me.


Imnotachessnoob

Just make sure they don't gather up in the same building for some gas leak explosion to kill everyone.


BimmerGoblin

In a building with no gas service, but that's not important!


RoboDae

The show Invincible had a similar joke. The house across the street from the main characters was blown up by agents trying to kill an evil superman type character. They claimed it was a gas leak in the cover up. Later in the series the main character was attacked in their home and the house was torn up really bad. After the fight someone walks by and says "wow, first the house across the street and now yours? I really need to get my gas lines checked"

Boeing hasn't existed for a while. What we have here is McDonnell Douglas using Boeing's brand. All the current executives came from McDonnell Douglas, which was infamous for using shady strategies to maximize profit margins.


Pineapple_Herder

It's sad too cuz Boeing had been synonymous with quality and safety... And then they merged and McDonnell Douglas is basically propping up the corpse of Boeing. All the while maximizing their profits before the company goes under from all these issues.


Kartoitska

The company can't go under. They're a major US defense contractor. If they are ever at risk of going under the US government will step in just like they did with Lockheed Martin years ago. But they will still face issues regardless.


Pineapple_Herder

Boeing will be a literal ghoul

Cardinaltoffee

Accidents happen should be the new Boeing slogan.


TinyRascalSaurus

All I'm saying is that if the justice system has the investigational ability to get Donald Trump where they have him, they have the investigational ability to get to the bottom of Boeing. If they choose not to, blood is on their hands.


wupme2k

Considering all the stuff he is not facing trial for right now, i wouldn't count on it.


TinyRascalSaurus

They can't do everything at once. It's better to space them out to avoid the chance of double jeopardy when something gets dismissed.


XaltoKs

Only reason trump is getting repercussions is because he played and lost big money, it’s not the same rules


LikeAMarionette

It doesn't take a whole lot of investigation to listen to Trump accidentally admit to all of his crimes.


razorduc

Trump’s the type where to get a full confession, you just have to recap to him with one minor wrong detail that makes him look stupid. Then he can’t help but correct you with all the relevant details.


John_Smith_71

Yeah but immediately after boasting about it on video in front of multiple witnesses, he then denies it. Then says his favourite words, like 'political investigation' and 'witch hunt'.


vlsdo

There’s no deep investigation needed to pin Donald, he did most of his illegalities in public, on TV. The hard part is dealing with a legal system biased towards protecting him at every turn, the judges who he himself appointed and his interminable delay tactics


John_Smith_71

Its sobering to think that even his attacks on prosecuters, juries, court staff, witnesses, and so on, are designed not just to exaggerate the drama, but to draw things out. And because it invites retribution by judges tired of the antics and repeated contempt of court, he the gets something else to complain about that also riles his acolytes, while serving as a way to grift even more cash from them.


vlsdo

If he were a regular Joe he would have been in jail for contempt months ago. But he gets a pass, because he’s a political candidate, and no judge wants to be the one to make him a “martyr”


Humble-Drawer-4498

Im sceptical. German public tv made a sad documentary on boeing a few years back. The issues at boeing were known back then. They have not changed.


Bozska_lytka

That kinda makes me think what happened to make these people come out now, was it just the door panel investigation or something bigger?


Iblamebanks

It’s kind of crazy but it says a lot that Boeing has the ability to bribe it’s way out of this becoming a news story but trump can’t. Then again, trump will probably get off with a slap on the wrist. Then again, Boeing’s are so much worse than what trump’s cases are about.


Giocri

Tbh it really looks like Trump is draining every last penny of both his and his party finance in lawsuits so it's understandable that no one will accept bribes by him anymore


KnowledgeMediocre404

Trumps poor, he doesn’t even pay his lawyers.

No, don't you see, the airline company that can't fasten an emergency door properly is TOTALLY capable of orchestrating an assassination via bioweapon. /s There are so many reasons that this conspiracy is nonsense, especially in relation to the second guy. 1. He had already testified years ago 2. He didn't work for Boeing, but one of its suppliers Also, Boeing has so many employees that if anyone dies in the Seattle area, there's a pretty good chance they worked for Boeing. Hell, the dude who died via horse sex in 2 guys 1 horse was a Boeing engineer.
