A Boeing quality engineer went public Tuesday with damaging allegations that the jet-maker took manufacturing shortcuts to increase production rates that leave potentially serious structural flaws on its 787 and 777 widebody planes.

The Boeing engineer, Sam Salehpour, alleged that almost 1,000 787s and about 400 777s currently flying are at risk of premature fatigue damage and structural failure.

This is you, by the way. Really helping the cause by being a toxic ass on the internet. What a visionary. I'm not taking responsibility for the structure of society that got rolling years and years before I was born. I'm also not going to cut ties with family and friends and ruin my own life for the sake of preventing the very, very little that I'm actually contributing to greenhouse gasses. Fucking cope, and find a new angle. You've got the wrong guy. You're lucky I'm not the type to associate your behavior with all environmentalists. People seem to be agreeing with me that this misdirected virtuous hero act isn't working for you.
