If you think a company that knowingly put 10s of thousands of people in danger with faulty planes resulting in over 300 deaths, wouldn't kill two people for exposing said crimes? I have a bridge to nowhere to sale you.
Does anybody actually know how the second person died? It was from an hospital acquired MRSA infection. I think it’s insane if people think Boeing somehow managed that to happen.
Are you saying it couldn’t be done?
How WOULD you give someone a MRSA infection of the lungs? Inject it into their bloodstream? Aerosolize liquid with the bacteria in it and then discretely waft it towards them in a public place maybe? That's pretty insane though. The risk to reward just isn't there. And besides, what's the point of killing a whistle-blower who's already blown their whistle, except to "send a message" I guess? And the guy died after being hospitalized for 2 weeks so if he had anything left to say he could still have done it. It's Boeing. It's an aerospace company with shitty, greedy executives. It's not the freaking KGB.
