Stephen Brashear/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Boeing has come under fire and intense scrutiny ever since a door plug flew out of an Alaska Airlines flight on Jan. 5. Investigators revealed the plane, a 737 Max, was missing key bolts when the door was installed.The company has been accused of not doing enough to ensure its aircraft and other products are up to standards, and some former employees attest the company has been doing shoddy work for years.On Wednesday, another whistleblower, Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour, alleged the company took shortcuts in its production of 787 and 777 jets and, as a result, the planes have serious structural flaws."I literally saw people jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align, basically by jumping up and down your deforming parts so that the holes align temporarily and you can hit a piece with a mallet so that you can go into the hole. And that's not how you build an airplane," Salehpour told reporters.Boeing refuted Salehpour's claims in a statement released Wednesday.ABC News' Gio Benitez spoke with "Start Here" about the latest development.START HERE: Gio who is this person?GIO BENITEZ: Hey, Brad. So this is Sam Salehpour. He's an engineer with Boeing, and he claims that parts of the plane's fuselage are being fastened together improperly on the assembly line which, in theory, he says could weaken the aircraft over time. So we're talking about decades of time, and he spoke at a press conference yesterday.And his lawyer said that he had been raising these issues with Boeing management for years, but that they just weren't listening.Now the FAA says it is investigating these claims from a Boeing whistleblower, but Boeing is actually responding very, very strongly. And they told us this, "These claims about the structural integrity of the 787 are inaccurate. The issues raised have been subject to rigorous engineering examination under FAA oversight."This analysis has validated that these issues do not present any safety concerns, and that the aircraft will maintain its service life over several decades."So obviously, Boeing is very strongly disagreeing with this whistleblower and they sent us a very long statement, probably one of the longest I've ever seen.START HERE: And just so I'm clear. So this is different from the Max planes. When we talk about the door plug that was a 737 Max. These are Dreamliners he's complaining about.BENITEZ: Yeah. These are totally different planes. These are the 787 Dreamliners. You're talking about the Max 9, obviously, scrutiny was intensified over Boeing because of that door plug flying off that plane in January. It was a very, very serious issue. And then you think back to 2018 and 2019, you had those Max crashes.So those were the 737 Max planes. Now we're talking about the 787 Dreamliners. There has not been any accident with the 787 Dreamliner. This is just a concern. In fact, these planes have been in service for about 13 years now and back in 2021 and 2022 Boeing actually addressed this exact issue because of employee concerns. They slowed production down and they actually temporarily stopped delivering the 787. At the time, the FAA signed off on how Boeing addressed this issue.Now, it's important to note that this whistleblower has not provided any documented evidence. So right now, the onus is really on the FAA to tell us, is this a new problem or is this the same problem that Boeing already dealt with?START HERE: And is this a problem at all. It's interesting that he's kind of presenting this hypothetical. He's almost saying yes, we haven't seen any accidents yet, but they could become issues after decades of flying. It's only been 13 years. How would you even test that? How would you even predict what's going to happen decades from now, though, Gio?BENITEZ: Well, there are special stress tests, and Boeing has conducted a lot of them, actually, and they used an older 787. They actually put it through 165,000 simulated cycles of takeoffs, pressurization, depressurization and landings. And they didn't find any issues of fatigue there, and this jet is actually designed for a lifespan of 44,000 cycles. So we're talking about almost four times the amount of cycles that it would go through anyway.Now that is what Boeing is saying. Of course, the simulation is very different than what's happening in real life, but Boeing believes that this is very accurate.So the whistleblower says he's going to testify on Capitol Hill next week. And he says that's when he's going to provide the evidence.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Rathod | Mohamedbhai LLC(ENGLEWOOD, Colo.) -- A school bus aide has been arrested by police in Englewood, Colorado, for allegedly physically abusing three children with severe autism, at least one instance of which was allegedly caught on video, according to a law firm representing the families.The three students endured "extreme physical and mental abuse" over the course of six months while on a Littleton Public Schools special needs bus, the Rathod Mohamedbhai law firm said in a press release Wednesday. All three children are non-verbal, and could therefore not report the abuse, the law firm said.Kiarra Jones, 29, faces felony assault charges for crimes against at-risk children, according to police."It was determined that more than one non-verbal autistic student was assaulted by the suspect on a moving school bus while en route to school," the Englewood Police Department said in release Tuesday. "It was also determined that the suspect was the victims’ assigned paraprofessional employed by Littleton Public School District at the time of the incident."Jones allegedly subjected the children to "unfathomable abuse," the law firm said.Starting in September 2023, the parents said they "saw significant shifts in their child’s behavior and noticed physical injuries on their child, including unexplained scratches, bruises, a lost tooth, a broken toe, a black eye, and other deep bruises on their bodies and feet," the law firm's press release stated.The parents contacted the school with their concerns in January. The school then reached out to the school district. But according to Ciara Anderson, an attorney with the film, the school district "utterly failed" to take action."They did a sham investigation in which they looked at one ride," Anderson said in a press conference Tuesday. "They did no other investigation, they asked no other questions and they provided no other monitoring. Because of these horrific failures by the school district, the bus aide was emboldened to continue her abuse — and she did."The school district has not responded to ABC News' request for comment.Jones was arrested April 4 after a video recorded in March, which was released by the law firm on Tuesday, allegedly showed her "repeatedly hitting, punching, and stomping on a fragile 10-year-old boy."She was arraigned on the morning of April 5 and bonded out on a $5,000 bond, police said. A public defender is representing Jones, according to the district attorney.Jones and her attorney have not responded to ABC News' request for comment.She was fired the same day she was arrested, Todd Lambert, the district's superintendent, said in a letter to the school community Friday. Jones was hired in August 2023 "after satisfactory reference checks and after passing a thorough background check," and "had very limited access to students during her employment," he added."This kind of behavior cannot be and is not tolerated," Lambert wrote. "As parents, you trust us with the well-being of your children and you should never have to worry about them being harmed when they are in our care."In the press conference, the parents of the boy seen in the video spoke of their horror at learning how their son had been treated."How could someone that I trusted, someone that I was so friendly with, do this to my little boy?" the mother said.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

United States Coast Guard News(YAP, Federated States of Micronesia) -- Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and writing "HELP" with palm leaves on the white sand beach, the U.S. Coast Guard announced this week.The unnamed sailors, all men in their 40s, were rescued from Pikelot Atoll -- one of the outer islands of the State of Yap, part of the Federated States of Micronesia -- on April 9, the U.S. Coast Guard announced in a press release."In a remarkable testament to their will to be found, the mariners spelled out "HELP" on the beach using palm leaves, a crucial factor in their discovery," Lt. Chelsea Garcia, the search and rescue mission coordinator on the day they were located, said in the release. "This act of ingenuity was pivotal in guiding rescue efforts directly to their location."The men were on a fishing trip that began March 31 when their 20-foot open skiff sailboat equipped with an outboard motor was damaged and non-functional, leaving them stranded ashore Pikelot Atoll, according to officials.The search and rescue mission began on April 6 when a relative of the sailors called the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam, reporting the men had not returned home.The U.S. Coast Guard says a "breakthrough" in the rescue efforts came the next day, when a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon aircraft flying over the island identified the sailors, "confirming their presence and condition."On April 8, a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft crew relocated the men and dropped a radio to establish communication. "The mariners confirmed they were in good health, had access to food and water, and recovered their skiff," according to the release.The aircraft crew successfully deployed survival packages to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry could re-route to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to complete the rescue operation, officials said.The ship rescued the sailors and their equipment, and returned them to their home island Polowat Atoll, more than 100 miles away, according to the release."Our unwavering dedication to the search and rescue mission not only ensures the safety and well-being of mariners and coastal communities, but also reinforces the strong bonds of friendship and cooperation between the United States and the FSM and with our DoD partners," Capt. Nicholas Simmons, commander of U.S. Coast Guard, said in the release.In August 2020, a similar search-and-rescue operation took place on Pikelot Atoll when three men had been missing in the western Pacific Ocean for nearly three days when their giant message outlined on the beach of tiny Pikelot Island was spotted from above by searchers in an Australian and U.S. aircraft.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Peter Zay/Anadolu via Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- Education Secretary Miguel Cardona will name LaWanda Toney as deputy chief of staff for strategic communications, as the secretary's team looks to tackle college affordability with enrollment deadlines quickly approaching."The message is clear: We want to make college possible for folks like the secretary, who's a first-generation college student [and] wasn't sure if college was possible for him," Toney told ABC News in an exclusive interview.Pushing for adequate college and career training programs have been among Cardona's top priorities during his three years as education secretary. But the last several months have been mired by higher education woes, such as the Supreme Court's gutting of affirmative action last year and President Joe Biden's initial student debt relief plan introduced in 2022 (and struck down by SCOTUS last year).Most recently, there were widespread issues with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, form. The department has tried to simplify the form over the course of this year -- implementing the Better FAFSA Form -- and has ramped up operations this spring, fixing an issue that prevented contributors without a Social Security number (SSN) from starting or accessing the form."There's nothing more important to the Department of Education," Cardona said during a House Committee on Appropriations' fiscal year 2025 budget request hearing this week. "We’re working on this around the clock because we want to make sure our students have the information they need to make informed decisions."However, the price of college has gone up over the years, according to higher education sources who spoke with ABC News, and some colleges never recovered from the 2008 financial crash. This comes as the annual cost of tuition has risen to nearly six figures at some institutions and millions of students are wary about their college prospects."We're really trying to make it so that higher education is more affordable and accessible across the country," Cardona told ABC's "GMA3" on Tuesday.Meanwhile, higher education experts say college affordability is the top barrier to entry cited by students and families.With Toney's strategic messaging, the department will work to ensure college is attainable, a senior Department of Education official told ABC News. "Time is of the essence," the official said, so the department is working toward what every young student needs: The choice to either choose their career or attend college."We want everyone to have the opportunity to further their education," Toney told ABC News. "Whatever path they [students] choose. If it's to go to a career, then making sure that high schools are set up to support them in that way. And if they choose to go to college, they have those options."The daughter of college-educated teachers, Howard University shaped Toney, according to a source familiar, and Toney's experience at the historically Black institution empowered her.Toney was elevated to deputy chief of staff from her senior adviser role in the office of communications and outreach.Prior to her work at the department, Toney ran the strategic communications team at the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Executive Director Nathan Monell worked with her for years and said Toney spear-headed "college readiness and accessibility" strategies.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
