Video: (58 minutes) 'Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787' - Full Film
http://www.ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.com/page/27351.html
The Boeing 787 project began in the 1990s, when the company began plans for a new plane to replace the 767. Due
to rising fuel costs, plans for an airliner which would be 15% faster were ditched, in favor of a plane that would to have 20% fuel efficiency over its predecessor, owing to its pioneering fuselage, constructed of a composite carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) as opposed to sheets of aluminum.
Originally scheduled to be delivered in 2007, it was only finally delivered to the market last summer in 2014, the project having been disrupted by both 9/11, the Global Financial meltdown and a long string of engineering problems, including in-flight fires caused by its "state-of-the-art" lithium-
ion batteries.
'Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787' presents convincing testimony from designers, engineers and company whistle-blowers, who contend that a series of issues exist that transcend volatile battery packs, including poor quality standards, set in motion by irresponsible cost-cutting
measures and restrictive scheduling considerations, errors in parts construction, rampant drug use, and a woefully under-trained and unregulated manufacturing and operating staff. They say these
deficiencies work together to create a nightmare environment, where human lives could be the ultimate cost.

There used to be a saying in the States, many moons ago, after a spate of accidents: 'If it's Boeing, I ain't going!'. Personally, I'd rather not fly at all, but I'd avoid Boeing or Airbus if I was flying, if possible. _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.
