Cui Bono - part the third

Well, I admit to being first in line to make fun of the MARF^™(party like it's 1829) crowd finding some woke conspiracy behind every galldurn fire hydrant. But the following events are hard to comprehend.

- one of the Boeing Plastic Planes (courtesy of South Carolina sub-GED workers) loses its flight controls and plummets for a moment.

- the man who blew the whistle on the shambles at the Plastic Plane plant turns up dead

With the first report of the 'upset' of the Plastic Plane, it sounded like garden variety clear air turbulence; this is not common, but not unheard of, fits the description of the incident. OTOH, we have the report of a passenger who stated that the pilot told him that the controls froze.

"[The pilot] said my gauges went down, everything went down for one or two seconds and they just lit up again and continued to function."

Now, compare that with what the whistleblower had previously stated:

Barnett, a former quality manager who had worked at Boeing for decades, had "discovered clusters of metal slivers hanging over the wiring that commands the flight controls," according to a 2019 New York Times report cited by CNN.

Barnett told the Times that if those "sharp" slivers "penetrated" the wiring, the result could be "catastrophic."

Only The Shadow knows.
