Shelling has halted all flights at the only functioning airport in libyas capital tripoli airport has come under repeated attack since world salif after launched an offensive to capture the city in april those are the headlines were back in half an hour right now its rewind on aljazeera. Hello and welcome again to remind im elizabeth prana job want to rewind a survey visit some of the most important programs and more than a decade of aljazeera documentaries and to find out how the story has moved on since. Today were returning to a film which had a major impact on the worlds biggest plane maker in 2019 boeing hit the headlines when they were forced to ground the brand new 737 max after 2 fatal crashes in indonesia and ethiopia but this wasnt the 1st time theyve been forced to ground a new aircraft type back in 2013 the 787 dreamliner then boeings newest and most advanced plane ran into trouble midair when a on a flight made an Emergency Landing in japan after a battery caught fire at High Altitude just days earlier a similar problem had occurred on a 707 at Logan Airport in boston usa the dreamliner boeings flagship aircraft was in trouble but as aljazeera as an Investigative Unit discovered there was more to worry about on the dreamliner than just smoking batteries from 2014 has broken dreams. Joinery 16th 20 searching check amounts to. A brand new boeing 787 dreamliner makes an Emergency Landing. Passengers muse the plane was in trouble. It was in the u. K. Beautiful engine off. On a. Little mike you join you put us you can see always you know you. Need to take care of the moment so you know. Issue and we must. Follow up on all you. Want about it and all came. To blue books was one of the dreamliner is to listen to my own batteries the most powerful and risky ever committed on a commercial aircraft. Its just the latest in a string of a barrister meant for boeing state of the art aircraft 9 days earlier dreamliner battery had caught fire in boston massachusetts. To battery failures in less than 2 weeks japanese car is all Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines are grounded their fleets of buying 787 dreamliner Japan Airlines and a n a have been the 1st to fly the dreamliner now they became the 1st to count so all flights breaking news to the United States federal aviation all within 24 hours to u. S. Safety regulator the federal Aviation Administration grounded the 787 all 15 of the new boeing 787 dreamliner been grounded. The rest of the world followed no boeing fleet had ever been forced from service i dont january 17th 2030 in the dream. Is over. Im will jordan. For a year my team and i have been investigating the dreamliner its the boeing companys big bet on the future a plane created to save fuel improve comfort and boost profits. Built in a new way designed and manufactured by schools of companies around the globe. The company that makes the factory is g. S. You also based in kyoto. We wanted them to tell us what youve gone so wrong. Hi how are you and all. Out there. Just. Wonder when you might be willing to do an interview they refused. To. Tell me. The battery is only one part of the dreamliner is complex electrical system is also a charger made is a factory thousands of kilometers away what happened there shows boeing learned years ago just how dangerous at least e. M. I. And battery could be. In tucson arizona we tracked down michael lane on. An electrical technician. Ive been working Electronics Since i was 17 years old my drawing the paratroopers i was assigned to alectryon a communications a tie in of 82nd airborne. And this is the 1st time ive been here since. 2007. Its hard to believe that this is whats left of a 3 Story Engineering structure. On a november morning in 2006 laon and dozens of other workers cloaked in secure a plane the company that makes the battery charger. And i started a pot of coffee then i went into my lab and started working on my Battery Charging it. And then the top and there was a very loud explosion and all of us saw i was lying on the floor and there it was coming out the side of this battery it was about big and it wasnt like fire it looked like a jet afterburner large jet exhaust. The prototype battery secure plane was using to test its charge it had exploded. I heard a very loud series of metallic corralling bangs very kind of a shock and just this jet of steam of fire was literally rolling up the walls around me and on the ceiling i could just see it eating up all around me. I know that if that happened on board an aircraft there there would be no chance of survival. It was the biggest chemical fire into songs history. 10000. 00 square foot 3 story structure bent to the ground. After my building burned down after that they realize very emphatically the danger of this chemistry. Knows well the chemistry of the dreamliner battery. Boeing chose the most powerful there is but also the most volatile they went to lithium. Which is why here is our danger look so stepped down to secure a plane president just before the fire he started a new company to make lithium ion batteries for business jets. Bugs i was a true believer in the technology. Then he began testing 23. 3 m. Series. Battery that. Went beyond even the latest industry guidelines going so far as to fire bullets into batteries to see if they could be made safe military applications. You know you could run the test that you feel that you need to meet the requirements to be safe but. You also need to have a conscience thats going to tell you i want to do the extreme. In the end testing with a conscience couldnt make the batteries meet the requirements is new company failed. We became professional and destroying batteries and and the more we learned about it the worse it got i mean with home i got him to give in to him and we were saying what the rest of the guys were doing i guess we knew why. By the rest of the guys he means bowing. May were testing to a week a standard one written by the f. A. A. Specifically for the dreamliner. Its the f. A. A. Is job to regulate safety but when it comes to building airplanes the f. A. A. Delegate service site almost completely to the aircraft manufacturers. When it comes to the battery and beyond boeing largely polices itself the batteries passed boeings tests in line with the f. A. A. Rules boeing said the 787 batteries would virtually never catch fire on board an aircraft then they failed twice in just 9 days. Boeing has not uncovered the root cause of the failures. It found a work around. A strong steel case morning too late. And in exhaust the no interest fuels any fire will be a hospital because theres not enough oxygen to support combustion but several of the leading scientists out there doubts i dont think its a sufficient fix even inside that steel box with all of its fortifications all the elements are still there for fire. Despite no knowing the root. Americas safety regulator the f. A. A. Was satisfied. And in a full 2013 the dreamliner was packed. But this story goes far beyond the burning battery it begins at boeing itself. Is it the 1st american commercial jet capable of economical Transatlantic Service but boeings 707 jet. Since its creation in seattle nearly a century ago boeing had developed a reputation as a world class engineering company. But in 1970 boeing changed. In merged with competitor mcdonnell douglas. 2 companies with 2 very different Business Models. The merger was all about transforming our successful culture and Business Model into the same business while the big doll dogs had used unsuccessfully you basically shortchanging hearing is stop doing aggressive new product go into your other business for cash. The new boeing moved its headquarters from seattle the only home the company had ever known to chicago. It began slashing investment in research in order to cut costs. And maximized wall street returns. I felt was wrong i felt the company was going to come in the wrong direction and. I thought that quality would suffer and the integrity of the product would suffer. The feel that that legacy the next history and clump of time. Has been hijacked. By a bunch of course. By 2003 it was time to launch a new plane. But boeings new board was reluctant to invest the billions needed. The board made it clear that. They wanted this plan made for less money they wanted it made for 5000000000. 00. They wanted parkers the command to pay the rest. Its expensive so how do you make that happen well you promised them that you can do it for awareness and then worry about the consequences later. Boeing came up with a plan to save itself money. It would push the costs onto its major suppliers. Boeing would call them pumice. And they would design and pay for the parts they built. Boeings job would be to assemble the plane. It was almost as if at times you thought boeing executives believed well maybe they could sit in chicago and have other companies do things they would just rake in the money somehow by putting it all together putting a boeing sticker on it at the end. Right on show jewel boeing rolled out the dreamliner on sunday july the 8th 2007. 787. 0 lines with us today have made a big commitment to boeing at this airplane so far they have ordered 600 and 77th birthday. To you a lot of ways a joy to the 7 it was one of the more magical moments seen in the industry watching us live around the World Broadcasting im told in 45 countries in mind languages for the fear of this very exciting new boeing 787 dreamliner. We were all inside the factory with artificial lighting big stage tall brocker huge screens. Then they opened the doors of this giant assembly bay a new roles this beautiful beautiful. There it is sitting in the sun and we all stream outside and well touch it. And none of us know that. And im reassured by all the executives involved that its going to fly within 2 months. What i realized Walking Around it is that you could you know. Look up in the wheel well and you can see daylight. We learn that the whole thing was shot. Beautiful isnt absolutely beautiful. They roll like this fig airplane. I realize the doors are made of plywood this plan that we were admiring was completely a shell inside none of this would be possible of course without Exceptional Leadership theres only 2 conclusions you can draw you have executives there who are either lying in which case theyre clueless because theyre going to get caught in 2 months or you have a complete disconnect between the people who are working on the play and the engineers and the executives who are saying this and so to each and every member of the sudden a sudden global team i say thank you. Congratulations and keep up the great work more than any other single event. It was a good line and it was a statement that the boeing company is now oh about the big lie. Of. The day off to the roll out wall street pushed boeing stock to a 10 year high. But it was all about one rival as revealed in boeings investor calls. But who are. Around. September 2007 boeing announces its 1st delay. The all your audi airplane goes together. Really complicated. October 2007 a 3 month delay becomes 6 months we wish we didnt have to do this. Kind of Innovation Challenges that were doing our best to meet. The target 20096 months becomes 2 years of delays. We know we can and must do better and im confident that despite our setbacks we will get 787 through the Flight Test Program and into the hands of our cause. It just kept getting worse and worse and it seemed unbelievable you have to understand this was on the crest of that 3rd never seen a boeing to land a boeing program the sequence of events which an awful lot like a catastrophe rather than just a manageable series and a way as. The dreamliner a Business Strategy was backfiring. Designed to save so much money it was costing boeing billions. The outsourcing plan failed very badly all these different suppliers who were going to build these major sections couldnt actually do it. To fix the dreamliner boeing dispatched hundreds of Quality Inspectors to struggling supply is around the globe including to its partner and linea in southern italy ringback. We are looking through with a final part of the process. Ready would take on the topic of constructing the body of the plane not without a 1000000 panels but with come visit plastic barrels. The Main Objective to lose weight. Saving fuel and making the 707. 00 cheaper to run. But no one had ever made anything like this before not boeing and especially not in linea that is not the home of all of that on the market and nothing else like that. Boeings Quality Inspectors have one overriding priority to make sure the job is done correctly. In 2009 when inspectors found fools in parts made in this a lenny a plant. They would work to stop. A year later in a linear as other factory they again found Serious Problems and again they wanted work to stop. But this time manages overruled the Quality Inspectors. This internal boeing document from 2010 reveals executives ordered a linea to continue with fabrication without delay we follow all of the time the proceeded to stall but with the help of a boring specialist out of tar in the water where you disapprove of the condition they took responsibility for approving the call and we will continue to work your engine and buy the product. In a separate memo obtained by aljazeera boeing states that she may require deviations to the preferred quality process. We receive the memos from an engineer who like many we spoke with was afraid to appear on camera so he answered my questions by email. The quality engineer told us deviating. In the process compromised safety. A linear a boeing said it did not. So i brought the memo to the former president of boeings Engineers Union so my name is cynthia cole c y n t h o a last name c o l e cynthia cole spent 32 years at the company but never on the Dreamliner Program ringback ringback. So she had never seen this memo before ready. The Program Schedule may require deviation to the preferred process see that was as right there that one fragment of the stands you know you dont you dont change your quality process for schedule you make quality happen in the schedule. Theyre short changing the engineering process to meet a schedule and theyre not even allowing Quality Control to do their job and theyre telling them this is how its going to be i dont see how these people who write these things and agree to these things you know this if you dont hear how they how this is the 5th day i just dont get it and how can you do that. As an engineer i find that reprehensible. How does it make you feel as a fly. Oh yeah i know fire so is there and. It just makes you know because ive been kind of avoiding finalists only thing is i would definitely avoid fire. America is divided like never before inside is so convinced that theyre absolutely correct that the other side is dangerous people in power investigates how partisan politics overloading the civil norms are vital to american democracy every indicator shows america to be the least well functioning democracy of any establish democracy. One of the strange death of american civility on aljazeera. We have a news Gathering Team here that is 2nd term and theyre all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once youve got to be able to react to all the changes and aljazeera we adapt to that. My job is is to break it all down and we help give you understand and make sense of it. A conflict that is now considered to be the worlds worst humanitarian crisis hollywood model how to die like this stock is hard says really for sale and investigation into how billions of euros are made from supplying arms to saudi arabia a leader of the Coalition Fighting a war in the south the case is interesting. Because the amount of money involved yemen war profiteers on aljazeera. Aljazeera where every. A lot hasnt seen the headlines on aljazeera at least 20 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire at a Shopping Center in el paso thats in texas near the border with mexico 13th mass shooting in the u. S. This week police are investigating the motive. We have 20 confirmed fatalities and we have 26. 00 if it has a nexus point in time sure hate crime your fiance will be looking into that with the other federal authorities right now were looking at potential capital murder charges for this individual im not going to give us a name right now is the 24 year old white male. In texas alan fisher has more on this from Washington Police are investigating the man calmly custody if he was behind the posting on an extremist web site just the no before the shooting it is being described as a 3 page tirade against immigrants and also against automation talking about how the country was full and there were no jobs for people like him he also talked about how if the police came to stop him he would continue to fight the police say that when confronted by armed officers he laid down his weapon and was arrested without Incident Police in hong kong have fired tear gas at prodemocracy demonstrators say it was response to breaks thrown at a Police Station standoff happened in at least 4 places but the majority of demonstrations were peaceful thousands of rallied for the 9th weekend in a row to demand political reform progovernment supporters have also rallied they urged protesters to express themselves peacefully and help posters showing solidarity with police. Russian police have arrested more than 800. 00 protesters they were rallying in moscow after the government disqualified several candidates from standing in city elections next month last saturday more than a 1000 people were arrested at a similar rally but most were released sudans military jointer and Opposition Coalition have finally reached a constitutional agreement but the deal is yet to be signed thats expected to happen in the next few days those are the headlines were back with the news hour in 30 minutes right now its back to rewind. If the dreamliner represents boeings future. And ive come to the place where that future will be built. In this Assembly Plant in charleston South Carolina. Ive been called to a meeting with a man who works inside the plant. Hes taking a huge risk even talking to me. Its been eating me alive to know what i know and i have no appetite no venue to say anything. At his request we used a different voice. 300 souls on the plane their lives its bigger than me. We had seen reports of bad workmanship in the plot. But the man claimed the problems of falling deeper. With all the problems reported on the 787 theres 90 percent its get swept away hushed up. Its an iceberg. The people that actually work on it are the biggest problem there isnt an educated under skilled and uncaring staff that are building these planes and im not the only one that feels that way and he was prepared to prove it wearing a camera inside the plant to record what some workers said about the dreamliner. So. You cant have somebody from mcdonalds do heart surgery thats trusting someone with your life thats what were doing here. I see a lot of things that should not go on at an airplane plant people talking about doing drugs looking for drugs. Really like in a plane. Like this someone right now i could just look up the list. You know put sure. When boeing 1st announced a 787 back in 2003 nobody ever dreamt it would have been assembled anyway but washington state. The one place boeing to always made its commercial aircraft. But new boeing was playing by new rules so it did something into never done before. Off final assembly to the highest bidder. They were going to hold a competition for a steer against a nationwide competition were to build this plant. Iran to my editor after i put the phone down i think it was 5 oclock and i said youre going to believe this theyre going theyre not necessarily going to build here. Washington state one but only by giving boeing what was then a record 3000000000. 00 in tax breaks. 5 years later owns machinist scooped off the job after contract negotiations stalled. The strike cost boeing billions and added to the dreamliner as delays. Boeing stock was in freefall a major Global Economic crisis. That strike really enraged the top executives of boeing and so early into size in the night they made it very clear that they wanted a 2nd assembly made somewhere else. That turned out to be South Carolina the state offered cheap land and labor. Close to 1000000000. 00 in support found no unions. The decision to build the 2nd 77 Assembly Line in charleston South Carolina was made because of the strike in 2000 it they wanted to do it there because they wanted to weaken the union and they did. But for boeing leaving behind a world class Union Workforce for the Greener Pastures of a nonunion charleston would come at a price. Work in the plants is significantly behind and plagued by production errors. I know of one customer though no longer accept planes from charleston due to quality issues. They will only accept final Assembly Done in everett washington. Every day when you go to work not only are you doing your job but youre looking at the previous job to see if someone has messed Something Else up on that and chose not to tell me. To be sure everything is done correctly and the plane is safe boeing has Quality Assurance inspectors painstakingly checked every step of the way. But in South Carolina this inspector says he only saw ends off on finish jumps. You think everything better. My name is john woods. And those face engineer. To know their true. Going. Join words spent a career in the highly specialized field of everest base compass its. Boeing hired woods knowing he had qualified psychiatric conditions. Attention Deficit Disorder obsessive compulsive disorder and mild depression his job was to write instructions on how to repair parts damaged during the manufacturing process. Its my job. To make sure. That your craft is safe. Which says when you try to enforce quality standards in the South Carolina plant it was the rate by his bosses. In a couple of meetings there is several group of managers. Screaming at me to dumb down the work instruction. Saying you have to take remove requirements from your instructions as to its its going to take so much time. Would says he witnessed damaged parts being ignored papered over and hidden from view. Theres no doubt the bad repairs going out the door on the 77. 00 aircraft i am worried that. Sooner or later theres going to be a structural failure and. Woods appealed to boeings Human Resources department claiming he was being harassed for doing his job instead of coming to his defense boeing managers put boards under review. Weeks later they fired him. On them or forget this the day before i was terminated. I was telling my brother. It was to be working out. He still had not lost faith in the system. He turned to the f. A. A. Filing a whistleblower complaint. The documentary ledged 7 serious violations in the South Carolina. So ive gone to the page where they reached their conclusions in their discussion and what they found is that all the allegations all but one of them they could not substantiate and the one that they could substantiate they asked boeing to fix it boeing said ok we fixed it and then they closed the investigation and thats pretty much how they all go i mean ive seen this so many times. I think you would think that when you want. To help you when they call me call me up with information and they say i have all this information about this dangerous situation should i blow the whistle and i said well no not unless you have a private trust fund or another job to go to because you have a problem earning a living. When we looked at would f. A. A. Complaint we noticed a familiar name. From me. He was in the f. A. A. Is man in charge of the dreamliner. In 20113 years behind should boeing celebrated final approval for the 787 to fly. And it was bob romney who signed the order. Right. For her. Thanks it was bought from me who signed off on the dreamliner batteries. And offered 2 failed and the f. A. A. Grounded the dreamliner it was buffer army who signed it back into the. Shortly after that he retired from the f. A. A. 2 weeks later he was hired as Vice President of the Aerospace Industries association which nobodys on behalf of boeing. One of the 1st things he did was to appear before congress to call for greatest so for regulation for Companies Like boeing for years the f. A. A. To allow greater use of delegation not only to take full advantage of industry expertise but to increase the collaboration that improves aviation safety mr but from a declined our interview request one day or regulating the airline in the next day youre working for it cant possibly be tough on the industry that youre regulating because youll never get that plum job after you leave the regulators that the f. A. A. Will rarely cross boeing is simply walked. To washington influence game and boeing is a monster last year the company had over 100. 00 registered lobbyists. Even president obama boasts that he works for boeing you so i desire time i see him i said you know i ads is over go watch because im selling your stuff all the time. Jay is jim mcnerney. Its clear what boeing gets from the u. S. Government whats not so clear is what it gives back. Pay no taxes in 2013 no federal income taxes thats not a unique year over the last 12 years they claim to over 1600000000. 00 in federal tax refunds even though they reported 40 3000000000. 00 in u. S. Profits. 43000000000. 00 in profit but none of that comes from the dreamliner which has cost billions and hes years away from making money. All of boeings commercial profit comes from older and from. Those created prior to the dreamliner prior to jim mcnerney and prior to the match. It has been the top executives and largest stockholders who have benefited most. Boring c. E. O. Jim mcnerney made 27. 00 and a half 1000000. 00 in 2012 that was enough to pay the salaries of the president states the Vice President 15. 00 cabinet secretaries the 9 Supreme Court justices 7 joint chiefs of staff and all 100 u. S. Senators. Mcnerney is set to retire with a pension of close to 250000. 00 a month. Just before christmas 2013 boeing demanded pension cuts from its union machinists for jim mcnerney to be earning a pension at proximately a quarter 1000000. 00 per month and think that its ok for him to take my 20 200. 00 pension is outrageous absolutely outrageous. Back in South Carolina an authorized tool with boeings new workforce is coming to a close theres only one question left to ask. I also asked 15 of his coworkers if theyd fly on the dreamliner. 10 said no. You wouldnt. Why would you. Find this office while doing so well with your workers who fear to fly the plane they build quality process apparently loosened to speed up shed work is fired off to making safety allegations we know. Added on says from boeing right now were at a very exciting point in time we. Brought our production rates up to 10 airplanes a month faster than any airplane in the aviation history and to the highest level of any wide body airplane of the beast in history it is a couple of documents i want to show you here i showed him the documents suggesting boeing had changed quality procedures into overruled inspect is to speed up production mr loftus was not manager of the 787 program in 2010 when the memos were written up for me with the doctors for boeing engineers have told us that these represent boeing essentially putting shuttle ahead of quality shortchanging the engineering process to me to shed is that something you recognize the number one focus that we have that boeing is ensuring the continued safe there were this of an airplane the integrity of the airplane in the quality of the airplane going out. Weve also heard directly from from work inside a South Carolina plant. They painted a grim picture really of things there they say the work force isnt up to the job im extremely confident in the quality of the work force and going South Carolina the boeing workers at South Carolina to share that confidence is what some of them said here. Why would we need to turn the camera whats the problem and then boeings Communications Director stopped the interview. Or you see your speech i want to make the call of the sea i cant tell you who the employees are but they are boeing work is it was some of the planes that you build. Sure its. Oh im assuming the buck stops with the Boeing Commercial Airplanes management and so the most senior managers are the ones to answer this were here with the head of the 707 program and we have these things that you know you need to hear and you need to provide a response to we have not heard charles. Crawford. The radio. To say. Ok. But of this i do i have the highest degree of confidence in the Production System we have with the employees we have the boeing company in our supply chain. That. Boeing on saddam questions in writing denying it compromises safety or quality it said our interview was hostile unprofessional and in the worst traditions of tabloid Style Television news the company said it was confident that its battery fix prevents failures. Boeing says it uses one common f. A. A. Approved quality system for the 707 in everett and charleston boeing noted its memo stated it did not signify authorization to ship parts that dont meet quality requirements boeing said it drug tests in line with Company Policy and duplicable law the Company Denies any customer has said they will only take planes from everett. As for john woods boeing says his safety claims have no merit and the. May 18th 24 team. Canada celebrates the delivery of its 787. This is the modern marketing reality of the dreamliner but is there another reality one revealed by a burning battering by the words of the workers who built the plane. By boeings apparent changes to its quality protocols. Boeing says the 77 has no more problems than previous models the f. A. A. Says theres never been a safer time to fly. The dreamliner is the bones to selling plane in the world. One day we may need find ourselves on board. When we do we will trust boeing has put in quality 1st we will trust the regulators have been rigorous the ultimate link we will trust the plane is safe. Broken dreams from 2014 a disturbing insight into the Corporate Culture of the worlds biggest manufacturer and im pleased to say that im joined from london by the reporter on the film will jordan so well whats happened since that film ed lets start with the release of the film and what action boeing took at the time which was externally very little internally. Really what they did was try and weed out the whistleblower the person who it filmed within the plugs charles. In South Carolina they also let go all the temporary workers in the areas of the plant they they suspected were the areas where workers had filmed and then issued a statement attacking our journalism describing it as tabloid style and complaining about ambush tactics they blamed the allegations on disgruntled employees who they set out an axe to grind and they talked about sources who they felt had their own agendas and said they didnt have an interest in safety but in their own personal priorities they complained that the program was inaccurate and and unbalanced but 5 years have passed now we have seen. A new crisis now at boeing with the 737 max which has sparked reportedly a federal investigation a criminal investigation into the certification of that plane and that has also reportedly expanded to that plant in South Carolina where prosecutors have issued subpoenas for information about activities there theres also been a renewed media scrutiny on that plant reporting broadly the same things that we found back in 2014 which suggests that in fact very little has changed within that plant and within the boeing culture more broadly well statistically flying is the safest form of transport and i guess youre more likely to fly a bomb the most of the aircrafts of 5 years on from your investigation how worried should we be all. Well its true that hundreds of thousands millions of people fly every day and they do so unharmed flying is extremely safe it is deemed to be much safer than driving in a car almost other forms of transport and there is also a huge level of scrutiny on a plane construction but that is because it is such an extremely complicated business and you can talk to be journalists who have worked in the aviation sector for years and years and years and engineers in fact who say you know they simply cannot understand the true complexity of the machines that we fly and that is the reason why there has to be so much scrutiny but that is also why there are times issues that arise and any issues like that of the 737 max and will do you fly in a 787 dreamliner especially after what people working on that plane told you about it at some point most regular flyers will fly on the 707 i am a regular flyer and there are some routes you do fly on the 787 i have. And here i am but there is a plenty to look at and to scrutinize on boeing and all we can do as the flying public is trust that the system works trust but verify and i think.
