00:00I'm not here today because I want to be here.

00:02I'm here today because I felt that I must come forward because I do not want to see another 787,

00:09I do not want to see 787 or 777 crash.

00:14I have serious concerns about the safety of the 787 and 777 aircraft,

00:19and I'm willing to take on professional risk to talk about them.

00:22I have analyzed Boeing's own data to conclude that the company is taking manufacturing shortcuts

00:28on the 787 program that may significantly reduce the airplane safety and the life cycle.

00:37Since 2013, there have been serious issues on the 787 program,

00:43not properly closing thousands of gaps in its assembly of the fuselage on major joints.

00:49Boeing's standard says that these gaps must be closed,

00:53usually by a small shim or filler called a shim when they exceed the five thousandths of an inch.

01:00Details are that the size of a human hair can be a matter of life and death.

01:06In a rush to address its bottlenecks in production,

01:10Boeing hit problems pushing pieces together with excessive force

01:14to make them appear that the gaps don't exist even though they exist.

01:19The gap didn't actually go away, and this may result in premature fatigue failure.

01:25Effectively, they are putting out defective airplanes.

01:28I found gaps exceeding the specification that were not properly addressed 98.7% of the time.

01:36I want to repeat that.

01:3798.7% of the time, the gaps that they were supposed to be shimmed, they were not shimmed.

01:43As a result, I witnessed severe misalignment when the planes were assembled.

01:49Boeing manufacturing used unmeasured and unlimited amount of force to correct the misalignment.

01:56And this also weakens the airplane in the long run.

02:00I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align.

02:06I call it the Tarzan effect, among other improper methods.

02:11Again, I raised concerns internally.

02:13I was sidelined.

02:14I was told to shut up.

02:16I received physical threats.
