波音雇凶灭口？已知信息和我的分析 (上)
首先声明三点—
1. 这两天看了几篇/几段有关的文章和录像，我对Barnett 先生深表敬意，愿他安息。如果美国公司做事都像他那么认真、较真，美国的在制造业上的竞争力会强很多。
2. 我跟波音没有任何关系，也不拥有其股票。我对波音的态度是中性的，但希望它好。
3. 这是我个人的分析帖，不试图与他人争论或改变他人的观点。
上周六3月9日，波音公司的著名“吹哨人” John Barnett发现枪伤死于自己的汽车里，疑似自杀。在2017年退休前，他是波音位于南卡罗来纳州的787 Dreamliner工厂的质量管控经理。
这次，Barnett是去Charleston出席一项持续数年的、他针对波音的诉讼的取证。在诉讼中，他指控波音公司在他对公司提出的质量和安全投诉后进行报复。（这是他和波音的老官司，开始于两次波音737 Max 失事和最近舱门脱落以前。）
于是人们的疑问出现了：如今，波音公司正有大量的问题暴露出来，他怎么就死得这么巧？微信上有中文文章写道：他正要去法庭披露真相，没等开口就死了。这不是杀人灭口是什么？
鉴于此，我把事情的时间线列出来，谁先谁后很重要 —
A、他在2017年退休前的相当一段时间里，多次在波音内部反映安全隐患，但公司不予重视。
B、2017年，他根据“AIR21吹哨人保护计划”( AIR21 Whistleblower Protection Program)，向美国劳工部提出了对波音公司的投诉。FAA的这一计划，保护举报违反航空安全的员工免受飞机制造商报复。
C、他于同年（2017）因“健康原因”从波音公司退休，时年55岁。
D、不久他对波音公司提出法律诉讼，指控波音在他提出公司的问题以后受到打压。（上周的听证就是关于这个久拖不决的官司）。
E、2018年和2019年，两架波音737 Max飞机坠毁。
F、2018 - 2021年，737 Max失事以后，Barnett多次接受媒体采访，指出波音的安全隐患和为追求进度而cut corners等。从此John Barnett作为“吹哨人”被大众所知。
G、2024年1月，一架737 Max在起飞后不久机身舱门脱落。
H、上周他去Charleston法庭，是关于他告波音案子的取证。法院打算6月结案。他与自己的两位律师一同前往，面对波音律师的质询。
-- 周四3月7日，波音的律师对Barnett进行了取证。
-- 周五他与自己律师进行了询问和交流。他“grew tired”，稍提前离开。
-- 计划周六再进行最后一次取证。但当天早上他没有出庭，也没有接听电话。他被发现死在酒店停车场自己的皮卡里。
I、目前对于他死亡源自“自杀”的结论是初步的。警察局披露，除了枪以外，在副驾驶座位上还发现一个他的 note。警方未透露纸条的内容。案件还在进一步调查之中。
-------------
现在再来看看各方就Barnett先生去世的反应。为了保持原味，我直接引用英文原文。此外，我尽量从较知名的媒体如NPR，ABC， BBC等处摘录信息，我认为这样相对可靠 —
1. 波音公司：
“We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
2. Charleston警察局书面声明：
“We understand the global attention this case has garnered, and it is our priority to ensure that the investigation is not influenced by speculation but is led by facts and evidence.”
3. 一位朋友：
A “close family friend” of Barnett, who gave her name only as Jennifer to ABC News claimed he had told her “if anything happens to me， it’s not suicide.”
4. Barnett的律师：
"We did not have any indication that he was under tremendous stress to the point where he would take his own life."
“Mr. Barnett’s experience at Boeing had deeply affected him. It was really weighing on him, what was going on, and reliving all these things that had happened and the stress it had caused.”
5. 一位波音员工：
“It actually gives me a pit in my stomach because of what he’s been saying, and he’s dead now. Maybe he killed himself ，I don’t know what to believe.”
“A lot of people are skeptical, because he made some pretty powerful enemies.”
6. Barnett家属的声明：
"He was looking forward to having his day in court and hoped that it would force Boeing to change its culture."
"He was suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing, which we believe led to his death,"

【根据已知的信息，以及我对美国上市公司运作的了解，我认为他的死亡与波音管理层无关。下一篇我作详尽分析……】

是的，现在“谋杀”没有任何意义。而且，上市公司搞谋杀，根本没有可操作性。
He was suffering from PTSD 應該有些道理。當然，希望他提出的問題，如果是問題，應該得到改進。
Thank you for your concurrence in this matter. Indeed, neither Boeing nor any major public company can afford to conduct itself akin to a mafia organization, even if certain individuals within it may desire otherwise.
With that said, Boeing is clearly in trouble, and as you said we just let the chips fall where they may…
I appreciate your kind remarks regarding my writing. My focus and reflections do span a variety of subjects, starting from my young age. As for my personal life, I suppose it's as interesting and fulfilling as that of most netizens on WXC.
Boeing is a corporate entity governed by a corporate board and run by a management team, not a mafia organization headed up by one person or one family. But then, as they say, may the chips fall where they may.
By the way, I continued to be amazed by your seemingly endless energy in pursuing expanding interests in a wide range of topics. Your own life must be highly interesting, and tremendously fulfilling.
