Tengku Zafrul says will seek to ‘correct errors’ in Zahid’s affidavit backing Najib’s bid for house arrest order

Former Boeing engineer Ed Pierson said he turned over records, sent to him from an internal whistleblower, to the FBI that he said provided key information about the Alaska Airlines door plug.Boeing has said it believed that documents detailing the work on the opening, closing and securing of the door plug that blew out were never created.

Salehpour has claimed Boeing failed to adequately shim, or use a thin piece of material to fill tiny gaps in a manufactured product, an omission that could cause premature fatigue failure over time in some areas of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Salehpour said he had reached out to Boeing official Lisa Fahl but was not provided specific safety data.

Salehpour’s lawyers had previously said documentation he provided to the Federal Aviation Administration would be available at the hearing. Boeing has challenged Salehpour’s claims against the 787 and 777, which are used mostly on international flights, arguing on Monday it has not found fatigue cracks on nearly 700 in-service Dreamliner jets that have gone through heavy maintenance.
