A whistleblower against Boeing, John Barnett, was found dead in his hotel parking lot while testifying against the company. His claims about dangerous Boeing practices have been verified by the FAA. The circumstances of his death raise concerns about accountability and the protection of whistleblowers. Other news about Boeing includes allegations of prioritizing stock prices over safety and failures in FAA audits. The lack of major media coverage on Barnett's death is notable.

⚠️HOLY SMOKES—A famous whistleblower against @Boeing on safety issues, has just been suddenly found dead in his truck in his hotel parking lot—all while **testifying in the middle of his week of depositions** against Boeing. JFC. Many of John Barnett’s claims about dangerous Boeing practices have already been verified by the FAA. If we don’t hold accountability for his death, whistleblowers won’t come forward in the future—which would endanger publicly health & safety. https://bbc.com/news/business-68534703

2) WTF — “It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.” ➡️ people don’t suddenly commit suicide in a parking lot while at a hotel to testify against @Boeing for days and days.

4) “Even in the technical meetings (of aircraft engineers), everything revolved around Boeing stock prices”. JFC.

5) “a 2017 review by the US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), did uphold some of Mr Barnett's concerns. It established that the location of at least 53 "non-conforming" parts in the factory was unknown, and that they were considered lost. Boeing was ordered to take remedial action. On the oxygen cylinders issue, the company said that in 2017 it had "identified some oxygen bottles received from the supplier that were not deploying properly". But it denied that any of them were actually fitted on aircraft. After retiring, he embarked on a long-running legal action against the company. He accused it of denigrating his character and hampering his career because of the issues he pointed out”

6) Basically whistleblower John Barnett has been tirelessly warning about Boeing dangers for almost a decade. Yet somehow he suddenly commits suicide in his deposition testimony week after all these years? Gimme a break.

@Boeing 8) Years ago during the Boeing 737-Max Ethiopian crash incident—when Trump was president… while nations around the world grounded the 737-Max, Trump’s FAA let them keep flying for 2 more days. Trump WH also further relaxed FAA inspection standards. 🔥 https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisagarcia/2019/03/18/did-trump-executive-orders-further-weaken-faa-oversight/

Did Trump Executive Orders Further Weaken FAA Oversight? The FAA has been mandated to take a more collaborative approach with manufacturers and airlines. Two orders from the president that require the FAA to cut regulations further may have tipped the balance, diminishing FAA authority and focusing it on working against its principal priority on safety. forbes.com

10) A really weird thing—besides the small website “Corporate Crimes Reporter”, TMZ, and BBC News who all reported it 14-18 hours ago—no other major outlet has covered John Barnett’s death until the last few hours today. This is explosive news—yet mostly crickets 🦗—weird.

The new EG5 variant raises concerns about its immunity evasion and infectiousness, especially among those without the Omicron booster shot. Its impact on hospitals remains uncertain. Italy witnesses a 25x increase in COVID deaths in just two weeks. Rising cases in Ireland defy the heat wave theory. Divergent predictions on the dominance of XBB16 and EG5 variants create uncertainty. Understanding these dynamics is crucial to combatting COVID effectively. #MaskUp #Ventilate #Disinfect #StaySafe

@DrEricDing - Eric Feigl-Ding

📍The thing that worries me about the new #EG5 variant is whether it is incredibly immunity evasive against past infections/vaccines (especially the 80-85% who never got Omicron bivalent booster shot)— and how infectious & severe it will be? And why now this summer if it has been steadily growing a while (but not spiking)—was it the July epic heat wave that sent people into indoors for AC? And is the latest case surge going to overload hospitals or just create a modest wave? I’m still trying to figure this out using data collated from US and Europe. I’m being more cautious with this new WHO-proclaimed #COVID19 “variant of interest”. Meantime please #MaskUp and #ventilate and #HEPA disinfect your schools and office buildings. Better safe than #LongCovid sorry—because 10-20% LC among those infected is ENORMOUS and itself going to crush healthcare systems down the road. #CovidIsNotOver

@DrEricDing - Eric Feigl-Ding

2) Italy COVID deaths are increasing again - 2.5x in 2 weeks, as pointed out by @Antonio_Caramia. Have to see if this continues.

@DrEricDing - Eric Feigl-Ding

3) I agree it probably not the heat wave indoor activity — I was just thinking aloud as a devil’s advocate to myself. Ireland never had a heat wave yet still seeing hospital cases rising. I’m trying to explain my thinking process to everyone.

@DrEricDing - Eric Feigl-Ding

4) UK’s variant modeling group shows both XBB16 and EG5 growing simultaneously and fighting for dominance. However Us CDC predicts XBB16 likely waning. Why the divergence? When folks can’t agree on any spiking trajectory, it gives me pause if this is “the next big one” or not. https://gov.uk/government/publications/sars-cov-2-genome-sequence-prevalence-and-growth-rate/sars-cov-2-genome-sequence-prevalence-and-growth-rate-update-2-august-2023

Norfolk Southern paid just $25k to a town after chemicals were used to open a railroad. Drinking water in Ohio is at risk and a task group is testing it. Three new chemicals were identified in the Ohio rail spill. The long-term health effects are unknown. The toxic chemical plume is moving southeast towards Pittsburgh. Over 1 million pounds of Vinyl Chloride leaked and burned. Norfolk Southern lobbied to kill federal safety rules around upgraded train braking requirements. The area has been deemed safe too quickly. Projectile vomiting and multiple kids sick is not normal.

NEW TOXINS IDENTIFIED—“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist. Rail company Norfolk Southern is paying just $25k to the town, or ~$5 per resident.🧵 HT @therecount

Video Transcript AI Summary

Three additional chemicals have been identified from the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine. The US Environmental Protection Agency revealed that ethylene Glycommonobutyl ether, Ethylhexylacrylate, and isobutylene were present in the derailed, breached, or burning rail cars. Ethylhexylacrylate is a concerning carcinogen that can cause skin and eye irritation, while inhalation may lead to nose and throat irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath. Isobutylene can cause dizziness and drowsiness when inhaled. Residents were allowed to return home, but the EPA recommends thorough cleaning to remove any lingering chemicals. Concerns about long-term effects, such as cancer clusters and contaminated well water, have been raised. It is advised that individuals in the area undergo health checkups and keep records for future reference.

Speaker 0: We now know 3 more chemicals that were on board the Norfolk Southern train that derailed here in East Palestine just over a week ago. And being told that some of those chemicals are dangerous. Speaker 1: We basically nuked the town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open. Speaker 0: The US Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating that ethylene Glycommonobutyl ether, Ethylhexylacrylate and isobutylene were also in the rail cars that were derailed, breached or on fire. Caggiano says So acrylate is especially worrisome. He says it's a carcinogen and contact with it can cause burning and irritation in the skin and eyes. Breathing it in can irritate the nose, throat and caused coughing and shortness of breath. Isobutylenes is also known to cause dizziness and drowsiness when inhaled. Speaker 1: I was kind of Surprised that when they quickly told the people they can go back home, but then said if they feel like they want Their, their homes tested, they could have them tested. I I would have far out that they did all the testing. Speaker 0: Caggiano says it's possible some of these chemicals could still be present in homes and on objects until you clean them thoroughly. Speaker 1: There's a lot of what ifs and we're gonna be looking at this thing 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the line and wondering, gee, cancer clusters could pop up, you know, well water could go bad. Speaker 0: Kajano recommends anyone who's in the East Palestine area, get a health checkup. He says get a record of where your health stands now so that moving forward, you have documentation of any really related effects to the train derailment.

7) the real long term health effects won’t be know for years or decades down the road. By then insurance companies and corporations and politicians will have moved on. The untold risks are rarely uncovered (unless by diligent epidemiologists… yes, us again) who research it.

8) if you smell chemicals in the air — definitely stay far far away. Many residents in even neighboring counties also smell the chemicals. They should all evacuate.

@DrEricDing - Eric Feigl-Ding
