John Barnett: What Boeing’s Biggest Whistleblower Claimed About The Company

John Barnett, a former Boeing employee and whistleblower, was found dead in his truck in a Charleston hotel on Saturday, March 9th. According to the BBC, Barnett was a Boeing employee until 2017. Barnett, who regularly voiced his concerns about problems at Boeing, had been in Charleston for legal interviews regarding failed tests of the emergency oxygen systems for Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The BBC reported that the Charleston County Coroner confirmed, stating the cause of death was a self-inflicted wound.
