Plane bodies made by Boeing's largest supplier regularly left the factory with serious defects, according to a former quality inspector at the firm.
Santiago Paredes who worked for Spirit AeroSystems in Kansas, told the BBC he often found up to 200 defects on parts being readied for shipping to Boeing.
Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing have both come under intense scrutiny after an unused door came off a brand new 737 Max shortly after take-off in January, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the plane.
Pete Buttigieg, United States Secretary of Transportation, says “if a plane isn’t safe, it can’t fly”.

whistleblowers should be protected by police from Boeing
Boeing doesn't have police.
The US police are practically the Gestapo these days. They only brutalize innocent civilians.
But instead the police protect boeing after they kill the whistleblowers
@@clam3822 🤣🤣 you made me spit out my coffee
🎉
If it’s Boeing I ain’t going
Meanwhile, if it's weapons for war zones, Boeing's going all in :)
@@TimothyMusson well yeah because weapons are supposed to hit the ground 😂
@@terransunitednice one lol
@TimothyMusson yep because US government gives them big money contracts
Make that a popular slogan
I honestly thought the headline was going to be 'boeing under investigation for murder'
For the 300+ people they killed for money in two plane crashes, or for the faked suicide of the whistleblower who was about to testify?
@@andrewj22 It was 2 whistleblowers in the end wasn't it? In either case I'd say it only takes 1 to be investigated.
Airbus did it
its only a matter of time
@@andrewj22if u count that then every airliners are murderers.
2 whistleblowers “died”, further investigation has to be done carefully 😂
You do realise the investigations are standard when an incident happens? The BBC are whipping up hysteria over a standard practice to find out what happened and how incident can be prevented in the future.
Nothing to see here folks, move along... I SAID NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!
no it's not only BBC DW years ago had a thorough investigation where they clarified methods of hiring drug addicts into assembly lines etc or firing of real engineers who built up the old versions. the one who still has guts to defend boeing from corrupt practices, mismanagement, LIES and political influencehas he himself no respectfor proper engineering or truth @@Jase29
Yeah, im never flying with them again.
@@Jase29The thing is, the BBC isn't hyping it up for nefarious purposes, they are reporting on it because the general public wants to know, which is in turn because confidence of the general and flying publics in Boeing aircraft has decreased. Public perception is ultimately a problem Boeing needs to fix, after it's fixed the physical problems, and the company processes & culture, because it ultimately affects sales.
What about the two separate whistleblowers discovered dead after coming forward with information???
they are like the Russian oil magnates
First of all, they were from Spirit. Second, a quality manager or inspector is not the field expert or specialist. The manager or even engineers disagree amongst themselves however senior engineers understand if there is a safety of flight, use as is or notice of escape. Each have a level of degree of and when actions are required to check or replace.
@@JohnnyChinchmoreover they didn’t bring any new information regarding Boeing quality controls, in fact they had raised complaints long back in 2019. And they had repeatedly failed to provide evidences in favour of accusations.
Imagine how these airline safety stories would have been reported if Boeing was a Chinese company!
Remember when China with a population of 1.5B people where the pandemic started claimed to have less covid cases than Ireland, an island with a population of 5M. Good times...
Global aviation was a lot less safe when Russia and China were still trying to manufacture aircraft. This latest wave of ‘issues’ is just more media hysteria, capitalizing on public interest in turmoil at Boeing. An airbus just had the exact same problem with its front landing gear at LAX a few days ago.

@@michaelsieger9133 Did Boeing have 2 of their 737-Max crash due to a design fail that they tried to heal with faulty software that they hid from the FAA and pilots to not lose airplane orders due to retraining that would have been necessary? I'll answer that for you: YES! Boeing is a safety hazard and it doesn't make Boeing more safe if you point out that Russian or Chinese airplanes were unsafe aswell.
At this point Comac is safer than Boeing
"Profits over Safety"
Hiring Blacks over safety
@@Mark-nx7mr 🧐 your Racist!!!!! 🙃
Protect the whistleblowers at all costs.
Boeing should encourage and reward whistleblowers. Not fire them, threaten them, or seek revenge.
Multiple safety concerns and STRAIGHT UP MURDER
Who knew a Boeing QC engineer would be the most dangerous job after a minefield football Ref.
I’m no Boeing fanboy, but blaming them for a tyre that blew off on landing and an incident with a very old model (737-300) is just dishonest. The media should do some basic research before putting out these sensationalist headlines.
Oh so whistleblowers who reported safety issues dying is not sus
Well whos to blame then
Dude, the Fedex plane that had the malfunctioning landing gear and had to land on its nose was a Boeing 767-300 and it was around 10 years old! Are you implying that a 10 year old Boeing plane can't be expected to have functioning landing gear?! This is getting ridiculous.
After some time, excluding known design/production issues that would manifest themselves in other units of the same type, these kinds of incidents are caused by poor maintenance or just plain old equipment failure. That landing gear that collapsed possibly had thousands of cycles and was serviced by tens of maintenance personnel. You can blame Boeing for a new plane’s door panel that blew out mid flight, for example.
@@CountVonCount2011 Should the landing gear of an only 10 year old plane malfunction (the Fedex plane that landed on its nose)? Should equipment failure be expected after only 10 years?
How many accidents need to happen before something is done?!
Wow... the name Boeing is truly mud at this point.
You people crack me up. You talk about ‘media narratives’ and ‘hysteria,’ but you immediately jump on the bandwagon whenever it suits your politics.
I mean it’s not even Boeing anymore. It’s literally McDonnell Douglas using the Boeing name.
Which is a real shame. McDonald Douglas is responsible for the sharp decline in overall quality do to their management style. Quite the opposite of Boeing.
@@marthasteele9917 As passengers, we can't use this info for anything🤷
@@Captain.Pugwash If I were flying I would like to know if the company was experiencing an increase in safety violations or incidents.
As bad a Boeing has been lately, they arent responsible for the maintenance of older planes.
Agree with you there mate. Can't blame Boeing or any other manufacturer for something tyre burst, could happen to any plane out there. Same goes for older planes where some of the MRO's need to take a long hard look at themselves.
So what about the Fedex Boeing 767-300 plane that had to land on its nose because the landing gear was malfunctioning? It was only 10 years old. Btw., Boeing creates the maintainance instructions for their planes. If a plane is maintained according to Boeing's instructions and there is still a technical issue because of lack of quality of the product then you think that's not a Boeing issue?
Also, you need to check the airline's maintenance record too! It's not always a Boeing problem.
2 whistle blowers dead? Not a single mention 😂😂
I guess you can’t say anything unless you KNOW it was Boeing. What is scary is they are very tight with the military so…. Makes you wonder if the law will apply to them or not.
@UTUBE3JC all such stuff takes multiple years to come out, when all the top guys are dead or retired and then all the scum is left to the new guys and then they will reveal the "truth"
Soon Airbus will be the only way to fly
😂 Yeah right, Europe is on the decline. Just leave it to China, like you rely on them for everything else since your establishment sold your manufacturing industry for bigger profits.
Only if Airbus don't hire Americans in the management and engineering, American made planes not reliable like their cars
Yep, already the case for me
Which will be so bad for the aviation industry
Competition is always best. Airbus is made by humans too. I don’t mean to excuse Boeing, how in the world do you have a door plug fall off?! I do recall the upright tail fell off an Airbus just after 9/11, it crashed in the Rockaway neighborhood in NY. You always have to watch out for humans, they do great things and stupid things! Who knows the stories we haven’t heard.
While the MCAS crashes and door plug blow-out were issues very much attributable to Boeing, a plane running off the end of a runway or bursting a tyre on landing is more likely to do with maintenance or aircraft operation. The number of unrelated incidents happening to Boeing aircraft within 24 hours is related to just how many flights take place today. Let us wait until accident investigations or completed before reaching the prejudicial conclusion that these are yet further Boeing safety issues.
So what was the cause of the Fedex plane's landing gear not working and the plane having to land on its nose? The plane was only 10 years old. And have we already forgotten about the Boeing that went into a nosedive a couple of weeks ago, injuring dozens of passengers because of a faulty pilot seat that is in all of those planes? Boeing was responsible for testing those seats before, during and after they put them into their planes.
The reporter was cool until she mentioned the tire bursting. That has nothing to do with Boeing. Do you blame your automaker when you get a flat tire? 🥴
Er, yes, if the automaker but faulty tires on the car then yes, you can blame the automaker. If the tire burst because YOU didn't maintain them/your car properly then its not the fault of the carmaker. Boeing is responsible for every single part they put on their planes. They need to test and check them before, during and after they put them into their planes. Is it likely that this bursting tire was Boeing's fault? Probably not? Could the malfunctioning landing gear of the 10 year old Fedex Boeing 767-300 plane that had to land on its nose be Boeing's fault. It's could. That remains to be seen.
But the FAA let them self regulate and as always the whistle-blower life is destroyed for having the courage to come foward
FAA will obviously always give Boieng a pass, Its American and they'll cut corners all they can to at least compete.
That's American freedom and engineering in action
@@everythingelsesport2000 You don't think they may have learned a lesson? Their laxity has cost Boeing many billions, and has cemented Airbus as the world's leading commercial airliner manufacturer for years to come.
@@phildane7411 we hope they have but this is not new when it comes to US aircraft manufacturers and FAA - check their relations with Douglas years ago, They would even do "Gentlemen's agreements just to pass them.
The transport secretary just stated they were already under a microscope when all these recent accidents have happened. They clearly have no control over the situation considering Boeing is a defence contractor.
What accidents? A nose gear issues that Airbus is notorious for? And something that was probably pilot error?
You are probably right on the money.
This man speaks as though he was a Boeing employee rather than a public servant, that’s ridiculous
@@mms100o How so?
Not a Boeing fan….but a lot of the recent incidents sounds like operational issues not manufacturing
The Fedex plane that had the landing gear malfunction and had to land on its nose was only 10 years old. Should a 10 year old Boeing plane be expected to potentially deadly landing gear issues or are we blaming the "foreigner" again here in true Boeing fashion?
@@phantagirlableWe don't know. You could be right but after some years I wouldn't jump to blaming the manufacturer as much as to check on how routine maintenance etc is done. Not trying to defend Boeing here but these incidents listed in the video are hardly related to the manufacturing shortcuts on the 737 MAX and the 787.
oh look, a Boeing astroturf comment
@@the_bottomfragger We will see. Unless the Fedex plane wasn't properly maintained I would rather not see vital landing gear get stuck/not extending in a 10 year old plane.
@@phantagirlable I completely agree but there have already been hundreds of maintenance checks and replaced parts on that aircraft since it was delivered. We just can't know the issue for sure until they've thoroughly investigated, which I'm sure they will. I'm just saying the gross negligence in safety standards seems to be a rather new phenomenon that older types don't seem to suffer from. I feel very safe flying on all Boeing aircraft except the 737 MAX (which I don't plan to ever fly on) and to a lesser extent the 787. Apart from that, it's mostly the carrier, whose safety culture in maintenance and piloting makes the difference.
All the Boeing staff seem to be committing ‘suicide’….😂😂😂😂
What is so funny about that? Grow up.
womp womp and oil up
@@nn.roberts I write what I want; you do what we tell you…..😎
"Made in USA" height of American engineering 🤣🤣🤣
Less a problem of engineering and more a problem of putting profit ahead of people.
@@neiladlington912Nothing more American than that
@@neiladlington912pretty much sums up the entire country
Great documentary about them on Netflix.
and making this comment on an American platform.
Kind of moronic to mention an incident caused by a tyre bursting on landing in the context of Boeing issues. They don't make the tyres.
But the headline sells... 🤷🏻♂️
lol Okay, first of all, Boeing assembles the planes and has to test all materials and make sure they are in accordance with safety quality control. They need to test and check and double check before, during and after assembly. A bad tire can be because of bad maintainance from the airline or because Boeing put a bad tire on the plane. Same goes for every single component of a Boeing plane. I mean dude, did you seriously believe that Boeing can just slap a, say, faulty engine on their planes and then be like, ops, not our fault that the plane crashed? XD Anyway, so what was the reason for the Fedex Boeing 767-300 plane that had to land on its nose because the landing gear was malfunctioning. It was only 10 years old.
@@phantagirlable planes go through tyres like you drink water. I guarantee Boeing didn't fit that tyre. Boeing has many faults due to financialisation but this accident is just media hysteria.
I was half expecting you to interupt saying "boeing are being investigated" to we bring you breaking news "the department who were investigating have all tragically died in the last 3 hours from 6 gas leaks, 2 "self" inflicted gun shots and 16 cases of swimming in their clothes and accidently standing in some wet concrete and drowning" 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Flysaifair Boeing 737-800 in South Africa also had landing gear issues at the end of April
You wouldn't catch me dead flying Boeing, because you would find me dead crashing in a Boeing. 😄 Funny but true.
Yes
Why not for 2 conspiracies and murder charges? 2 in less than a month...wtf?
The Alaska Airlines door plug incident involved a new airplane. The incident in Turkey was a blown tire. Boeing does not make tires. As far as I know airlines either maintain their own planes or contract it out. The plane in Senegal was an old 737 cause of incident under investigation. Many African airlines use older planes and maintenance can be an issue. Some are banned from flying outside Africa. I think Boeing is trying to right the ship. Everything that happens to a Boeing plane is not their fault.
You are completely wrong here
Boeing is doing he opposite of trying to right the ship. They are trying to hide all their criminal behavior and the walls are closing in.
Are you even fact checking yourselves? Spirit is a wholly separate, independent company. Spirit also makes Airbus parts. Spirit used to be a part of Boeing, but was spun off into an independent entity.
Let’s be clear here there are maintenance issues and there are manufacturing issues…. Tires and old 737s running off runways are not manufacturing issues….. I hate Boeing but let’s be real here!
Spot on. This is CRAP reporting just trying to grab eyes for advertising money.
So what about the Fedex Boeing 767-300 plane that had to land on its nose because the landing gear was malfunctioning. It was only 10 years old.
Missing parts, faulty parts. What is a blow if not this?
In all fairness it’s not just Boeing, the main cause of these crashes are the airlines principal maintenance departments who fail to maintain, report and disclose these issues
I get the Max and 787 issues since they are new planes. But a 737-800 is nearly a 30 year old planes and so many hours and flights everyday, around the world. isn't this more of a maintenance issue with the airliner than it is with the manufacture?
We don't know what happened
Who supplies the spare parts and at what condition do they come in
⚡️ After seeing this video I think Boeing needs to vertical integrate the supply chain with strict quality controls.
Working in the industry, if one fastener is over or under torqued due to an incorrect process, there is a full investigation performed.
2:39 sorry but the FAA said the plane was safe after the first MCAS crash and it happened again. The FAA then said it was safe again and then the door blew out…
When will the DOJ get involved. This is clearly profits over safety.
Please explain how any of these issues have direct correlation the the production of the aircraft
Day Of Judgement? Nah that's happening sooner than ever
Too busy participating in party's feuds at the moment. please call another time never.
@@delta_glider4362 I fear you may be correct.
Isn't the safety record based on incident to flight hours? Most of a flight is at cruising. Would be interesting to compare that record with only the take-off and landing hours.
Remember, they are probably both due to the lack of proper maintenance from the airlines part.
Just to reiterate what a lot of people are saying here - aircraft which have been in service for a longer period of time experiencing landing gear failures really shouldn’t be mixed in with whistleblowing for a currently produced design. That’s a ridiculous generalisation. The decade old 767 and the 737 will have had many inspections and maintenance checks from the airline’s engineers or from their contracted engineering company. The responsibility isn’t all on Boeing for events like these - it’s the airlines and their engineers too. This report doesn’t tell the full story.
Why is it at the moment most of these issues are maintenance based not boeing basef
Oh please,years after sale. Those issues with any aircraft other than MAX’s are not Boeing’s responsibility
Exactly. This is crap reporting.
Boeing investigate itself and found no wrongdoing
How is a blown tyre a Boeing issue?
Thank the heavens the plane's we have now are old versions, I'd never fly again if the wheel thing happened to a plane I'm on.
Safety first
The way reporters conduct interviews regarding aviation safety is borderline annoying to stupid. Peter Butigieg is secretary of transportation, he is not Boeing, he is not FAA, nor he is NTSB. What he must answer for, is that he is following political and social duties of holding accountable all the aforementioned entities to do their jobs seriously, Boeing to comply with safety standards, the FAA to oversee them, and the NTSB to investigate. He does not have a crystal ball to know wether Boeing will comply or not. All he can say is that he will ground their planes per rule of law if they don't. That stupid attitude of being overly inquisitive and presumptuous with every interviewee no matter their role just add white noise to the matter.
Well, Pete here is definitely doing some damage control for Boeing here.
Spirit is a supplier for Boeing (and Airbus, others) not a subsidiary. The physical plant and much of the contacted work was once part of Boeing over 20 years ago, and likely will be again in a year or two, but not now.
Production since 2015 should be grounded
Obviously
Why? For having the same issues as Airbus? For flying millions of passengers around the world every day with no deaths and negligible injuries? Blaming the manufacturer before investigators have even drawn a conclusion about these incidents is a pretty good way of letting people know how biased you are.
@michaelsieger9133 Boeing doesn't have the same issues as Airbus. You Are deluded
@@user-nu1sq2fz8s An Airbus had to make an emergency landing at LAX because of nose gear issues just a few days ago. It just doesn’t make headlines because it’s not Boeing.
@michaelsieger9133 no you are responding crap. Boeing has problems all over the place you don't follow the situation with them . I follow them after they killed 346 people a few years ago
I’m a little confused here, the 737-300, 737-800, and 767 are all old planes which are no longer in production. They’re not really relevant to the current problems the company is causing.
2 tires? That maintenance not manufacturing? Whatt
What......... goodness PLEASE
I think such safety checks should already be done for every aircraft manufacturer before they start production. This could have been avoided if such checks were down by government organisations before Boeing starts shipping their aircrafts
The FedEx incident has nothing to do with being. That plane is a 767, very old and hasn't been in production for years. A plane designed and manufactured before the Boeing/Mcdonnel D merger. That incident is a pilot or FedEx maintenance issue.
It should be under investigation over so many people dead who said it's not good
I still don't understand why Alaska Airlines gets a pass on the door plug blowout. There were 3 separate incidents where the pressurization alerts went off in the cockpit and AA didn't ground the plane to check it out. Just say Boeing and the bell rings .
1:07 spirit is not a subsidiary of Boeing, it was and was spun off many years ago. It does work for Boeing and Airbus
These airplanes are older and this is a maintenance issue not a Boeing issue.
People call me suicidal but Boeing is the only plane I would fly.
I'm not a Boeing fanboy or anything but the media needs to calm down ....none of these incidents have anything to do with the 737 MAX nor 787 issues ...they are just incidents that happen to any manufacturer or any airline
Why always Boeing? Why not also the operator who’s responsible with the aircraft maintenance?
Oh for the good old days of the 747 that we all felt very safe in. What's that old saying about "if it ain't broke"?
“if it’s Boeing, I ain’t going”
Haven't heard a single update from South Carolina Police regarding the "suicide".
At this point… Boeing is being blamed for everything that happens to its planes. Most of these I’m sure are as a result of poor maintenance rather than a manufacturing issue.
Boeing a good metaphor for the US in general
The incidents that were mentioned in the beginning of this video are not a Boeing issues, those are airline maintenance issues or other factors. Yes, Boeing needs to get it together and lookover Spirit to have better control
You guys do know that these recent incidents are maintenance issues by the airlines, not Boeings fault. Lmao
He's literally answered neither of those questions.
People need to be let go immediately until this problem is fixed
It should have been obvious years ago when trump praised them that something was wrong.
Puerile comment. Grow up!
They are part of US military complex . That's why Trump goes around praising them
Was that before or after he handed over our secrets to the F-22 Raptor?
Comical . How old are you 10?
This is concerning I’ve got my jollies next week. All the planes we’re flying on will be Boeing ones 😭😭
I will never fly any Boeing aircraft again.
I understand the Jan 5th incident , but how is this on Boeing’s fault? Boeing built those planes 15+ years ago .
How are any of those accidents with these aircraft related to Boeing?? All those incidents are piloting errors, maintenance issues and component failures. That fedex aircaft is over 10 years old, the nose gear not coming down is an aircraft maintenance problem not a design issue! Seriously start reporting properly! A tyre bursting is not a Boeing issue, Boeing don't make the tyres!
I downloaded an app online that lets me book airline flights without Boeing aircraft. I’m never going to fly on a Boeing airplane.
3:15 "The _safest_ mode of transportation"... Uh no, that would be flying on an Airbus.
Well a lot of this could also be maintenance related. Doesn't generally have to be Boeing. The Alaska one is Boeing fault or technically Spirit. But fault with tires/gear isn't abnormal. Nor is runway excursion. Runway excursion is most likely caused by pilot error and poor SOP
I mean the 737-300 is probably about 35 years old, built way before the MDD merger in 1997 which was when things started going downhill…this was likely an operational failure
Boeing really NEEDS to TAKE SERIOUSLY their QUALITY CONTROL checks. THIS is NOT going well for Boeing. As a customer myself, i'm getting scared with flying in their Airplanes. I love BOEING, I grew up watching 747s when Pan-Am was still in service and flew in their planes, but now it's like what's happening?? Please NO MORE short cuts in Quality Controls please Boeing! Please please please!
For those wondering, several years ago Boeing fired its Board and replaced them with Venture Capitalists. Profit Above All.
If it's a Boeing, I ain't going 👎
What!! These are all old planes, its the airline maintenance & pilot error at fault
For once, a politician that doest divert attention, explains stuff, admits when there's a problem, and can tanslate his thoughts into a comprehensive text.
Omg this is getting out of control 😮
I fail to see how an old -300 in Senegal of all places, not a location knows for its fastidious aviation safety record, has anything to do with current quality and safety issues at Boeing. And the 76 nosegear event hasn't even been fully investigated yet, this is just poor journalism, or a lack thereof, which in and of itself is no surprise these days.
These are maintenance problems and not Boeing problems. It's like blaming BMW for a flat tire 10 years after driving it off the lot.
Every incident listed here was the fault of airline maintenance or the pilots. If the media is going to blame Boeing for safety issues actually blame them for stuff they are responsible for. I don’t see BBC blaming airbus for the delta a321 fire that just occurred
How are any of these occurrences Boeings fault. Plane ran off a runway, Boeings fault? Tyre burst on landing, Boeings fault? Landing gear didn’t extend, Boeings fault? Like common, does the media have even any idea what they are reporting on? FFS as if these are not general maintenance or human errors from pilots 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😤😤😤
McDonnell Douglas isn’t doing too well
These all seems like maintenance issues than Boeing issue, since all of these planes are old.
He just said a bunch of beautiful words with no meaning!
runway overruns are not hugely uncommon, there are hundreds of different variables involved in the land/go-around decision, and sometimes pilots get it wrong, sometimes they are misinformed and sometimes their aircraft does not perform as expected, but the implication that a tyre burst followed by a runway excursion is somehow Boeing's fault is somewhat hard to swallow. There is a very legitimate story here, it probably has nothing to do with that excursion, and winding the two stories together feels a bit too sensational to me
Why is nobody talking about the 2 dead whisteblowers ?
Ok, so even though Boeing looks shady AF, don’t get too carried away with every incident being a manufacturing fault. There’s a 1 in 10,000 chance of a tyre blowing during takeoff, many issues are down to poor maintenance of the airlines or local mechanics. Don’t get too carried away scaremongering…
Most of these incidents are from poor maintenance from the carriers not boeing.
Who’s investigating? Where are any laws, rules, or regulations being enforced?
Ok, what has a tyre burst have to do with Boeing ?
Boeing quality terrible
He looks like Sheldon cooper....
Media conflating the incidents again. Great another whisltblower mentioned defective parts but fails on mentioning which model plane. Recent incidents being 2 clearly mechanical but could be influenced by poor maintenance. The run off plane can be run off caused by pilot error. TLDR: Clickbait
I like Pete, but the whole thing where the FAA allowed Boeing to conduct their own frickin inspections was imo a serious mistake. I realize people will say, it was just small stuff like bathroom signs etc…, but I guarantee that it went far beyond that.
