A Boeing quality engineer went public Tuesday with damaging allegations that the jet-maker took manufacturing shortcuts to increase production rates that leave potentially serious structural flaws on its 787 and 777 widebody planes.

The Boeing engineer, Sam Salehpour, alleged that almost 1,000 787s and about 400 777s currently flying are at risk of premature fatigue damage and structural failure.

Wow, are you really so ignorant? You fly like 10-100x more frequently than the average person. Don't you realize what the NO2 does to the atmosphere at those altitudes?

Your carbon footprint is probably in the top 10% of all humans. It everyone lived like you, we'd need 20 earths. We only have 1 earth, and you're killing it.

Our grandchildren will wonder why we didn't send people like you to the guillotine for all the people you're killing.

Holy shit the melodrama. Focus this energy on somebody who actually doesn't give a shit about the environment. Maybe not, y'know, someone who just has to get to a couple fucking weddings and flies coach. Would you like me to refuse to go to the weddings on the grounds of the climate? I'm terribly sorry that my entire family and everyone I know doesn't live within walkable distance, that's really my mistake. If you think I'm a murderer, then how about you act like it and come get me. Act on the terrible crime you apparently think I'm committing instead of this virtue signaling garbage. Moron.

This person doesn't give a shit. That's the point.

And obviously you don't either. Look in a mirror. Stop the mass extinction that you're causing if you fly more than once per year.

This is you, by the way. Really helping the cause by being a toxic ass on the internet. What a visionary. I'm not taking responsibility for the structure of society that got rolling years and years before I was born. I'm also not going to cut ties with family and friends and ruin my own life for the sake of preventing the very, very little that I'm actually contributing to greenhouse gasses. Fucking cope, and find a new angle. You've got the wrong guy. You're lucky I'm not the type to associate your behavior with all environmentalists. People seem to be agreeing with me that this misdirected virtuous hero act isn't working for you.
