Hundreds of Boeings Have Explosive Jet Engine Fault
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has identified a fault in 292 U.S.-registered Boeing 777 aircraft, chiefly operated by United and American Airlines, that could cause their jet engines to discharge electrostatic energy into their fuel tanks and blow them up mid-air.
The FAA proposed an 'Airworthiness Directive' in March, "prompted by a determination that the nitrogen enriched air distribution system (NEADS) cover plate assembly attached to a certain vent stringer in the center wing tank [of certain Boeing 777 aircraft] was installed without a designed electrical bond."
The air regulator explains that the "accumulation of electrostatic charge in the cover plate assembly and the float valve assembly" as a result of the fault "could lead to electrostatic discharge to the surrounding structure."
"This condition, if not addressed, could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank and subsequent fire or explosion," the FAA warns.
Boeing and parts supplier Spirit AeroSystems have been plagued by scandals in recent months. Multiple aircraft have lost doors mid-air, dropped tires, and hurt passengers after violent movements caused by "technical events."
An FAA audit failed Boeing and Spirit on dozens of product audits as these issues were becoming widely reported, with whistleblowers stepping forward alleging they were raising serious safety concerns internally and being ignored.
Two of these whistleblowers have died suddenly, including one, John Barnett, deemed to have fatally shot himself after telling friends, "If anything happens to me, it's not suicide.
Boeing insiders allege standards are falling as a result of "politicized" Human Resources (HR) directives pushing "anti-excellence" Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.
However, the FAA has also been pressuring the aviation industry to push DEI policies, not only for women and ethnic minorities but for people with "psychiatric disability" and even "severe intellectual disability."

Editor's note: During the 19th century commentators in England were already raising alarm bells over Limited Liability Corporations – why would directors not want to be held liable? – Joint Stock Companies, and the like. Most researchers, investigators and analysts are not picking up on how dynastic the whole criminal network is. Offshore family trusts in British/American offshore tax havens. These are dynastic pirate corporations all operating in a predator and prey ecosphere. Pirate family values. What people and the flying public should demand is no more incorporation to evade accountability. Publish organization details on an unincorporated blockchain and do business like normal ethical people. Some groups violate good commercial principles, boycott them out of business. The next time you are standing in the gate waiting to board a Boeing aircraft flying you to your destination, you may want to seriously think about making an individual decisions whether or not you want to participate as prey in "vulture capitalism" in a predator and prey ecosphere. Listen to this discussion to learn how corporations and your elected representatives work together against your best interests and in Boeing's case risk your lives.
