Prior to his death, whistleblower John Barnett was testifying against Boeing over concerns about standards.

John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett’s passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

    No, that’s called letting other people think for you, but if that’s what you consider critical thinking, then I know who you voted for.

      Holy shit you just argued that basing your opinions on the facts, instead of your own prejudices, not only isn’t critical thought, but letting people think for you.

      Amazing.
