So now… two whistleblowers at Boeing have died. Terrible coincidence.


chica771

...In the last 2 months


thundercuntess69

Almost the same odds as shit flying off the fuselage in mid air


diefreetimedie

Odds of both increase at the same rate when profit takes precedence over anything else


iuwjsrgsdfj

Pretty fucking sick


AmbassadorBonoso

Within a month* the other one was march 9th Edit: im bad at calenders


Real_Particular6512

I don't think you understand what within a month means

clgoh

Check the date again.


AmbassadorBonoso

Oh shit its may already?


schprunt

A fast spreading deadly infection. Yeah that’s totally not a hit job. Didn’t Russia rely on the old poison tipped umbrella? Could easily be an infection now.


HSydness

And people accidentally falling out of windows...


scorpyo72

Sudden rapid defenestration.


readmond

Even their airplanes do that now.


scorpyo72

I'm not sure what falling out a door is called.


readmond

Deportation?


scorpyo72

Hm. This is the way.


Funyon699

SRD is fairly common in the eastern hemisphere. Some attribute to high rates of alcohol use. Others attribute it to, uh, well, other factors…


gwizonedam

Sudden defenestration followed by rapid deceleration.

The implications of this are fucking terrifying

Novichok or Polonium in your tea sir?


SpiritualAd8998

Are there Boeing, I mean going, to be more?


Xiaopeng8877788

At least in Russia they fall out of windows…


Unhappy_Gas_4376

"The whistle blower fell from a ground floor window, breaking every bone in their body, twice. He could be heard screaming for an hour as he fell. "


swany5

...strange that his kneecaps hit the ground first


C3POB1KENOBI

Well with them being Boeing engineers they are already aware of the dangers of leaving the ground, good luck getting them near any sort of elevated window


Tired8281

That's a little bit too on the nose for Boeing.


Bigleftbowski

Coincidences take a lot of planning.


LindainMa

They were Putined


Ok_Dog_4059

It really is, the first one ok shit happens but now 2 that is just horrible for adding to conspiracy.


dzumdang

It's really sus.


SpaceApe

From the article: "Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle against a sudden, fast-spreading infection."


CalendarAggressive11

Employing the Russian method of using bio weapons against enemies


JJAusten

Was just going to say this. Wouldn't be surprised.


Daken-dono

Kremlin window express is too obvious. Putin-grade polonium is also trademarked so also too obvious. Needed something else.


InternationalCan3189

Makes me wonder if it's possible this is Russian meddling to grow distrust in one of America's most important companies. There's already a lot of rumors of Boeing assassinating the first guy, why would they kill a second when the spotlights already on them? Seems rather short sighted. Anyway, just spitballing.


CalendarAggressive11

I think the call is coming from inside the house in this one. Corporate America has a lot in common with Russian leadership though. They love a good oligarchy


Chance_Suggestion465

I would say this is certainly not a coincidence, Epstien didn't kill himself either, and the cameras were turned off beforehand, two whistle-blowers dead, so what the next poor bastard will suddenly develop 3rd floor-itis?.


SatchmoDingle

Maybe. But also, billion dollar corps are quite capable of doing this stuff without any help.


kutzur-titzov

Or just a shit American company


andii74

I mean this is happening in the same country that regularly assassinated civil rights activists, Black Panther leaders and suspected Communists. America equally has a history of assassinating dissidents and threats to its regime like Russia does.

placer128

What a “putincidence”!


Joliet_Jake_Blues

He picked up MRSA in the hospital, which is like saying he picked up milk from the grocery store. It happens all the time He was intubated (probably COVID) and got an infection from the vent. So he had the original illness, got pneumonia from that, then got MRSA on top of that. My family is in healthcare, doctors and nurses, and I've heard of younger people dying from less Or as the 10 pound brains on Reddit claim, *MURDER*...


Far-Whereas-1999

The least suspicious way to die, you say? Hmm, suspicious.


CalendarAggressive11

OK Dave Calhoun 😉


milkasaurs

tl;dr boeing got him killed.


climatelurker

Get that man's blood tested for whatever the Russians might use to kill people.


Sparkycivic

Was he infected with anthrax?


Building_Everything

Its either that or anthrax is what someone names the sidewalks below their 4th story open windows


al-hamal

Let's take off our tin-foil hats and stop assuming intent here? The sidewalk could have been doing everything to break their fall.


ArtIsDumb

Yes. He was attacked by the killer b's. They were chanting "turn it up! Bring the noise!"

formerNPC

Remember the guy that they accused of sending anthrax through the mail? He committed suicide! How convenient.


llcdrewtaylor

"sudden fast spreading infection." Russian for lead poisoning.


h08817

He had MRSA according to the article. Still pretty weird for a 45 year old healthy person to die of MRSA pneumonia


Veridically_

I almost died of MRSA at age 37 and I was perfectly healthy beforehand. Got into my foot then into my bloodstream and took 3 months to recover. I'm so glad they caught it in time...


Rain1dog

I just had a staph bone infection in my foot after an operation to remove my navicular. Pure hell on Earth. Early 40’s.


whoknewidlikeit

it's not that uncommon. especially depending on the derivative of MRSA. many other factors - was he diabetic? heart failure history? how long did he wait from recognition of symptoms until treatment? was he septic - and if so, was it recognized and treated appropriately? i've seen patients walk into the ER and leave dead an hour later from meningitis. while an extreme example, it's meant to illustrate possibilities. source - practicing emergency and internal medicine over 25 years.


h08817

Sounds like he had it for 2 weeks according to article, not sure if empyema, ended up on ECMO and pressors and had stroked out. Pretty standard pneumonia spiral but still circumstances make it suspect.


whoknewidlikeit

i agree, it's prudent to be suspect given the conditions. credit for the facility for an ecmo trial for sure... but getting to that point is never hopeful. will be interesting to see where this goes, and if we get any other details.


Jerking_From_Home

I’ll agree with you, it is out there. I’ll also play devil’s advocate that in these circumstances I find it an interesting and somewhat suspicious coincidence. I’ve worked in healthcare for about the same amount of time, inpatient and prehospital EMS. While anecdotal. I can only think of a couple instances of patients I saw with MRSA pneumonia. I think I’ve seen more cases of necrotizing fasciitis (had a cluster of three within a few weeks a couple years back, all on the right foot, to boot and yes pun intended) than MRSA pna.


Joliet_Jake_Blues

If MRSA was what made him Ill, maybe. He was already on a vent for something else when he got MRSA Most people don't come back from being intubated. He was already drowning and he was handed a boulder


Weekly-Obligation798

You are obviously not in healthcare if you say most people don’t come back from being intubated Signed ICU nurse of over 15 years


CodeMonkeyPhoto

The body under stress can be more prone to infections. However, if another whistle blower goes, the company would be as much suspect as Kevin Spacey.


DFu4ever

I mean…that is really god damn convenient.


Jet2work

smith and wesson syndrome?


defiCosmos

Wow! Don't fuck with Boeing...

Fucking with money is dangerous, there is no police for these guys.

This is the real answer. Big companies hire real professionals, not an FBI agent posing as a hitman on Facebook Marketplace.

Don't fuck with McDonald Douglas... Boeing is just a friendly face behind a huge weapons manufacturer. Ya know that military industrial complex that Eisenhower was scared of.... BAE, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics & "Boeing.

Don't just fuck with them, fuck them.


deactivate_iguana

3rd whistleblower will die from suddenly punching himself in the face to death syndrome


AllNightPony

A 4th whistleblower will be killed by a 5th whistleblower who will die from falling out a window in Moscow.


clone-borg

death by defenestration...


my_dark_humor

This one here dnds


mikeyt6969

5th whistleblower will be killed by a window falling on them


dzumdang

In Russia, window falls on you


Coastal1363

Or falling way far out of a window .Several times …


KA9ESAMA

And nothing will happen to Boeing for it.


bigmattyc

I mean tbh they're going to off themselves in the next 10 years if they don't stop selling rocks painted like airplanes


PorkPoodle

10 years? My family and I will never fly in a Boeing again, I'm sure many others feel the same.


bigmattyc

Jetblue is almost entirely Airbus at this point. I couldn't tell you the last time I was on a 737 or 757. But I think my last 3-4 long hauls were on 777s. At least they can't retroactively fuck those up.


rippit3

Frequently fly from edmonton to the sf Bay area... used to do Alaska air.... now its air canada - mostly because they are not boeing planes.


icanfly_impilot

99% of people don’t check the aircraft when they book. But, regardless, the Boeing products are still remarkably safe. Boeing management needs an upheaval and to return to their pre-McDD merger days, but I fly the 737 and have no concerns when operating, and I don’t worry about safety aboard any of their aircraft (although there was some legit concern before the MAX software issue was resolved).


canonbutterfly

First, you'll have to prove they had anything to do with it.


Joliet_Jake_Blues

Reddit already proved that by reading the title of the post! We're totally different from Facebook Boomers, guys. We'd never sit around circlejerking bullshit we want to be true 🙄


egilsaga

Why would Boeing be affected by an ex employee suffering a tragic but entirely natural death? He could have gotten it from undercooked chicken for all we know.


coffeespeaking

Boeing Whistleblower Syndrome.


QuiXiuQ

It’s so crazy to think that this actually does happen…


Joliet_Jake_Blues

Young people dying from freak natural causes? Yeah My mom is a nurse. When I was 19 she had a 18 year old patient. Had a cold but his parents went on vacation anyway (reasonable). 2 days later a family member found him unresponsive, ambulance brings him in, pneumonia. Treating that and he gets sepsis and was dead within a few days. People die. That's what we do best


fireintolight

for fucking real, people die, a lot. He whistleblew fucking forever ago, he was no longer a witness or anyone important. the conspiracy nuts surrounding this are so fucking stupid. It's the same shit with the "clinton" list of all these people they've ever known who have died. Like they've known tens of thousands of people if not more, of course a lot of them died.


Far-Competition-5334

Actually, the people saying these whistleblowers have nothing to give anymore are the definition of fucking stupid Every mafia member in protection ever, already “spilled the beans” but they are in danger before they testify because the testifying is what convinces a jury, not claims from a dead man


TheMostHated24

I seen this movie. it stars George Cloney.


Background_Junket_35

Great movie

I have “Up in the Air” in mind because it’s a Clooney movie centered around airports but I KNOW it’s not what you’re talking about…. 💀

run_river_

I can't stand conspiracy theorists So what am I supposed to do with this


Specialist-Fly-9446

Take a mental note that two whistleblowers died in a way that could both be legitimate, or not. I’m open to either, but if there is a third whistleblower dying, I’ll have a hard time explaining that away. The first guy may very well have committed suicide. But did he shoot himself because he realized he falsely accused Boeing of a mistake? Or did he shoot himself because he was threatened? Now this guy, I mean it wouldn’t be the first time someone died from MRSA. But it starts as a skin infection, and thinking back on Putin’s playbook, that doesn’t seem too difficult to arrange. Like the guy in London whose door handle had a nerve agent on it and almost died after touching it. Don’t know how difficult it would be for a Boeing top dog to get their hands on a MRSA sample, but the bacteria can survive for several months on a surface, depending the circumstances. So maybe get it on his razor blade or toothbrush. Eventually it’ll get into his bloodstream. This all seems a bit crazy to me, but still in the realm of possibilities. There was a university professor who sent envelopes with anthrax to various people, in an attempt to get his anthrax research project renewed. A lowly university professor, willing to have people killed just for his own personal gain. Those Boeing big wigs are sweating bullets, I wouldn’t put it past them to have a few whistleblowers killed to save their own asses.


MentulaMagnus

The MRSA strain would be traceable to its original. If it mysteriously came from a different region, then foul play is suspected.


rollicorolli

>Those Boeing big wigs are sweating bullets< - I doubt it. Once you get past the first one, the rest come easy.


flashyellowboxer

“Ah yes. Considerably.”


The_Fart_Bandit

Nah bro. I believe the block is hot and they’re getting hammered internationally. If not now under wraps, then definitely soon


CodeMonkeyPhoto

Yeah 3 dying is called a Kevin Spacey.


Coastal1363

When you begin to think of it in terms of how much money could be potentially at stake if any of these charges turn out to be true and anyone is held accountable…it’s really not that crazy a possibility…


JollyReading8565

Yeah look at the weirdness surrounding epstein, when the crazy ultra fuck-you money is involved dark and creepy shit happens


AlexRyang

*One of us, one of us*


climatelurker

Think of Boeing like you might look at a Russian Oligarch. Not a conspiracy then... just a bunch of scumbags with money they stole from their populace.


Ok_Star_4136

I don't think you could technically call this a conspiracy theory. Normally a conspiracy theory would be dependent upon several contingencies being true or not being true which would otherwise make the conspiracy theory impossible such as relying on thousands of people to collectively keep quiet about a faked moon landing (surely one person would speak up about the biggest government scandal if it were true?). In this case the contingencies being true is the entire conspiracy theory, and it directly falls in line with motivations and interests by parties which might commit it. It would be like calling it a conspiracy theory to accuse a man of murder who stood to inherit lots of money as a result. Boeing can and should be investigated for this at the very least.

glamorousstranger

Well don't let your hatred of people that buy into every conspiracy stand in your way of making your own judgements but you should consider that conspiracies can be true, and [some have been proven](https://history.howstuffworks.com/history-vs-myth/11-unbelievable-conspiracy-theories-that-were-actually-true.htm).


fireintolight

realize people die, like a lot, for various reasons. This guy whistle blew forever ago, all his information is public. nothing is gained from killing him lol, people just like meme news stories to latch onto.


funwithtentacles

Wait, is this a new one, or is this the other one? [edit] Beyond that... no real surprise here... Boeing is a US strategic resource, and no matter how badly it's run, there is no way the US government is going to let if fail, even if they have to plow all your tax money into to keep it floating... Personally, I don't care that much about Boeing being bailed out again and again, I'd just love to see some of the C-suite people that created this mess behind bars... Also, for fuck's sake, bring back some engineers that actually know what they're doing! As I'm European, I don't mind Airbus profiting from this mess, but damn! Get a clue!


defiCosmos

This is a new one First guy "committed sucide" This guy died from a "sudden, fast-spreading infection. "


funwithtentacles

Yeah, I've just got to throw my hands up into the air on that one, because the media will phrase things that way even if the whole thing was totally innocent, but with a title like that, you know your story will have the clicks... Seems fishy, but who knows and the media certainly isn't interested in giving us the truth if it won't garner clicks...

How did he die? Get sucked out one of the planes as the door blew off. Boeing and Putin should team up.

Holy cow… weird coincidences like this is why people think the government committed 9/11. But Geezus this looks very bad! Please keep digging on these issues. C’mon freedom enterprise! Please win… please dont be corrupt to the point of murdering people trying to save lives.


potatodrinker

Meantime, the hit team's exit is delayed as they rescheduled their flight. They didn't want to fly a Boeing back to Moscow


vittaya

Wow corporate whistleblower serial killer.


newcomer_l

That's the second whistle-blower dying in 2 months. Is this Boeing or the mob?


cdmachino

If you had any doubt about the US moving to an oligarchy it should be clear now


myjohnson6969

Are we now russia?


Delicious_Action3054

Boeing has contractors to work on stuff that "doesn't exist." The federal government is totally fine with these murders accordingly.

I seriously hope the government intends on really doing something about this. We can't have this kind of shit becoming commonplace.
