A former Boeing engineer-turned-whistleblower maintains that the assembly flaws in the company’s 787 Dreamliner render it unsafe to fly.

Sam Salehpour, the whistleblower, raised concerns about nonconforming gaps in fuselage sections, warning of potential catastrophic consequences mid-flight.

Boeing refuted these claims, asserting the plane’s safety and undergoing rigorous FAA scrutiny.

Salehpour, despite assurances from Boeing and experts, stands by his allegations, advocating for a halt in production until issues are resolved, NBC News reported.

His concerns, initially raised internally and now publicly, have prompted investigations and garnered support from others within Boeing.

Salehpour emphasizes his commitment to safety, despite potential repercussions, while his attorney underscores the validity of his claims based on Boeing’s data and Salehpour’s extensive experience.
