This is a classic hit on a witness. This was heating up, there was an enormous amount at stake due to his claims, dozens of people from multiple companies, not just boeing, could have ended up in federal prison. This was an expert hit, done by someone with extensive training and experience. They lured him to a city that was in the pocket of who did this. They knew they could get away with it there. The biggest piece of evidence is that no one heard the gunshot in a hotel parking lot. A surpressor was used.

That curse transferred over when they merged with McDonnell Douglas. Why would you join forces with a company known for cutting corners, using substandard materials and keeping fatal flaws quiet from the airlines that bought their planes? The DC-10 was the death cruiser. They cut corners and ignored flaws because they wanted to beat Lockheed and it's L1011 to market. Swissair 111, an MD11 was found to have flammable insulation and when the wires caught fire, it made the situation even worse. The military said that they removed that brand of insulation from it's fighter jets because of the fire hazard but McDonnell Douglas kept it. McDonnell Douglas has been in the " murder" business for decades. A lost life doesn't matter; losing money, is another story. ☠️😞

No I don't, because I actually looked at the evidence instead of inserting whatever ideology has taken over my mind as a lazy substitute for data gathering and thinking. Whistleblowers have spoken out about the problems at Boeing since the 1990s, some anonymously and many showing their faces in documentaries over the years. See what they all blame the problems on, don't make it up. It's almost all white guys every single time you see a factory floor, managerial or other workspace at Boeing, by the way, making it super obvious that you didn't do any research, you just want to insert wild accusations about the only subject you care about into any tragic story you come across, facts be damned.
