Here is the link http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/boeingaerospace/2003889663_boeing180.html Dan Rather figures, so this is not true. Comment?

But according to a summary of OSHA's findings, Boeing told investigators Weldon was fired for threatening a supervisor, specifically for stating he wanted to hang the African-American executive "on a meat hook" and that he "wouldn't mind" seeing a noose around the executive's neck. Weldon denied to OSHA investigators that he had referred to a noose and said the "meat hook" reference had not been a threat. OSHA dismissed Weldon's claim, denying him whistle-blower status largely on the grounds that Boeing's 787 design does not violate any FAA regulations or standards.

Dan Rather is the reporter. Boeing/OSHA obviously isn't playing patty-cake with this engineer since it is releasing these records. Bah. The former engineer sounds a little like a fruitcake with the "meathook" comment, Boeing is financially self-interested, and Dan Rather is a sensationalist that doesn't care about the truth. I say trust no one.

The whole tail section of the 777 is “plastic” so Boeing already has many safe years of experience with it.

composites have been in use in military aircraft for over a decade. and boeing was a key contractor in the f-117; if anyone knows what they are doing with composites, it’s boeing.

Nice, misleading headline. Basically he's saying the plane is less safe after it crashes.

Carbon fiber is a safe and durable material. They've made millions of bicycles from them without reported problems. The greatest revolution in lightweight high-strength materials have been thermoplastic composites. That's right next to aluminum in building everything from cars to planes that fly in the sky.

Weldon's allegations will be aired tonight by Dan Rather, the former CBS News anchor, on his weekly investigative show on cable channel HDNet.

Where nobody will see it.

If a video of a tree falling is shown on HDNet, and nobody is tuned in to hear it, did it make a sound?

Weldon's allegations will be aired tonight by Dan Rather, the former CBS News anchor, on his weekly investigative show on cable channel HDNet.

If Rather is involved the whole story could be fake.

Maybe Weldon is a fictional character.
