A Boeing engineer told US lawmakers that he was harassed and threatened after he raised concerns about the safety of the company’s planes.
Whistleblower Sam Salehpour said Wednesday that his boss berated him in a 40-minute call and his tyre was punctured by a nail.
He spoke at a hearing as part of a congressional investigation into safety at the manufacturing giant.

“We know we have more work to do and we are taking action across our company,” it said in a statement, after the hearing, one of two in Washington on Wednesday that focused on problems at the company.
The company has been in crisis since part of the body of a new Boeing 737 Max 9, flown by Alaska Airlines, broke off after take-off in January.
Passengers escaped serious injury, but the incident led to thousands of flight cancellations and renewed scrutiny of Boeing – which previously had to ground the 737 Max 8 after deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed 346 people.
The hearing brought together three whistleblowers who have emerged as some of the company’s most high-profile critics, including a former safety official at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Mr Salehpour, who has worked at Boeing for 17 years, said he had raised concerns about alleged manufacturing shortcuts repeatedly over three years starting in 2020, only to be told “to shut up”.
