Boeing whistleblower dead

The former Boeing employee who raised concerns about the 737 Max aircraft before two fatal crashes has been found dead.
Peter Lemme worked for Boeing as a technical pilot from 2002 to 2015. In 2016, he alerted his bosses and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to concerns he had about the aircraft.
In his letter, Lemme warned that the 737 Max's flight control system could cause the plane to nosedive if it received erroneous data from a single sensor.
In spite of Lemme's warnings, the FAA certified the 737 Max for commercial service in 2017.
Two 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed 346 people. Investigators determined that a malfunction in the flight control system was responsible for both crashes.
Following the second crash, the FAA grounded all 737 Max aircraft. The aircraft was not cleared to fly again until November 2020.
Lemme's death is being investigated by the FBI. No cause of death has been released.
Lemme's death is a tragic loss. He was a courageous man who tried to prevent two horrific accidents. His warnings were ignored by Boeing and the FAA, and hundreds of people died as a result.
Lemme's death should serve as a reminder that we must never take our safety for granted. We must always speak up when we see something dangerous, even if it means challenging those in power.
Lemme's death is a reminder that we must never stop fighting for safety. We must demand that our leaders put the safety of the public first, no matter the cost.
