- In a CBS News exclusive interview, the family of a Boeing whistleblower who was found dead earlier this month is speaking out. John Barnett, a former Boeing employee, had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company. A coroner says he died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It comes as Boeing's safety practices have come under new scrutiny due to a series of recent midair incidents. Mark Strassmann spoke with Barnett's mother and brother.

Only a fool would believe Boeing didn't do this.
@@adambarras6566just like the Epstein thing
Union thugs...Call me what you like.
@@adambarras6566 Defense contractors run this country that's why we have 860 billion annual defense budget. More then 3 times as much as China the next highest. Retired generals go to work for them get them sweet deals and all comes down to money. Look at how long we stayed in Afghanistan in the end just handed it all over to the guys we were killing. Ukraine has been a windfall for them now that the middle east is over with.
@@u2mister17why do you believe that it was done by "union thugs"? I have no opinion either way since I don't know anything about the situation but I'm a bit surprised that people would think it would be done specifically by people from a union versus some bad person in general who was working for a very bad rich person who had something big to lose. I do know that there were a few infamously bad union bosses from a few decades ago but I haven't heard anything that would make people think that union bosses are bad now. I also know that there are some rich people who are now against unions for political reasons but I don't know why most people would even care about that now.
Only a fool would rant paranoid conspiracy crap with no personal knowledge.
Where is protection for Whistleblowers?!?!?!
That would make to much sense
Gone.
I’ve never known it to truly exist.
Nobody can protect you in this world beside yourself. Train with and carry your tools daily.
Ask Snowden and Assange
HE WAS MURDERED. PERIOD.
How do you know? Question.
Other people have seen and talked about the same things. Do you think Boeing has hits out on all of them? He had issues and a lot of stress and offer himself, a last f u to Boeing in his warped mind.
Sure, like you really know!
@@stitchman8661wowww you knew him so well
@@zebra00024 Honestly, I don't know if he was or not but the amount of things that lead to that conclusion is a lot. A whistleblower who allegedly suicided at the last day of that situation, saying to his family that if he dies somehow it would not be a suicide, a paper letter at the back seat which by the words of family members does not sound like the guy at all. I really suggest watching a few videos yourself, Penguinz0 made a cool video speculating about it and there are plenty on CZcams regarding this sorrowful situation, though still as I said, it's all speculations even if there's a ton of things pointing at that that this particular theory is true. Hope this helps.
He also said that if he died, it would not be by suicide.
Source please?
Everywhere... @@mairajamil001
They had him killed.
He feared for his safety for a reason. And it happened. I watched the Netflix doc from 2022. He was trying to save YOUR life. If you or your family fly, you should care!
SO TRUE!
Seeing it on tv is about the same as hearing it on the internet.
Union thugs are cheap.
They really need to investigate this for foul play
It needs to be a federal investigation we can't count on Charleston South Carolina police to handle this.
@@SpiritualSchmuckIt is. The DOJ is investigating.
@@spektreddoj is corrupt as boeing
@@Cj-qt2lsDOJ and Corporations are the same thing. We live in a fascist state.
@@CleverGirlAAH I believe you mean DOJ and Unions.
You know how easy it is to pay off a coroner? Ask diddy.
Exactly my thought
Exactly! I can’t people are calling what we say “conspiracy theories”
@@SJD326 that's because in reality nobody in this thread knows anyone who's ever "payed off" a public employee holding a high paying job they don't want to lose, therefore having no experience with such a thing outside of tv screens, it may as well be a conspiracy theory.
@@IDontBuyIt50 👈🏾 Found the coroner. Watch out, they're onto you! 😂
And the Clinton's especially.
INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY HERE⚠️
By who? You know how this works.
Who will investigate the investigators?
Yeah we know how this worx, captain obvious.
We saw the truth emerge regarding Brian Laundries and family lies, we saw murdaugh sentenced.
You know what's going on as we speak.
He was murdered.
No one is buying into the “self inflicted” scenario. NO ONE!
I think Boeing doesn’t get a pass on this one way or another. They made his life hell regardless for speaking out about safety issues. Horrible ending for someone doing the right thing
No good deed goes unpunished on planet Earth.
100%
God Bless these people for raising a Real Man!
Of course a professional can make it look like suicide. Where's the parking lot security footage?
SERIOUSLY.
The dog ate the hard drives. Same thing with the footage of Epstein's cell.
Quite unfortunate.
Security not on duty and the cameras were non functioning...of course
Exactly!!! There's a camera every 10 ft in this country, especially in Parking Lots!!!
God Bless this family. They raised a corageous righteous man. Someone who wants better for others. A hero. Need more like him.
Everybody is scared to ride Boeing. Just look at all their max lines
After years of trying to be heard, John finally got his chance. It makes no sense that he would choose this time to commit suicide. This was a hit.
* Watch the movie 'Michael Clayton' and you'll see what Corporate Bosses do to Whistle-blowers.

There is no doubt the Boeing is guilty
He was clearly murdered. Good on you for giving this family a platform
On the main streamz
Sorry - this man was murdered. Heart goes out to his family.
Meanwhile CEO Calhoun is given a golden parachute and allowed to pick his successor … proof nothing will change
Grateful to see a media outlet not afraid to tell the truth for a change it is a breath of fresh air
self-inflicted?! no way... must be the work of a hired assassin holding his hand
Condolences to John's parents who are perfectly measured; if their son did commit suicide, he did it in part to save lives by raising awareness about a deadly Company. John Barnett is a hero, suicide or not.
Yep!😢
Definitely not suicide. He told people if he ended up dead not to believe it was suicide.
This is his brother, and his mom.
Thank you to John Barnett for trying to protect everyone who travels by plane and thank you to his family for continuing the lawsuit to make Boeing accountable
He said that if he wound up dead he didn’t do it to himself. He’s not suicidal at all he was trying to warn us all about the dangers of the planes that are flying in the air. He was forced into putting the gun to his head and we all know it! 😢
Where did he say this?
@@spektredto a friend
GOD rest his soul !
He was murdered!!!!!
SOMEONE OWES FOR HIS LIFE
And, all the money in the world will sadly not bring John Barnett back. What an amazing legacy he left. We should all be beyond grateful to him, and to his family for teaching him 'right' from 'wrong'!
Obviously Boeing did not address those safety issues before he retired. I look forward to the pathologist’s report.
God bless this family in their grief and help them in all things!
Amen 🙏
Need independent medical examiner to review the information
The media is burying it
Collateral damage.
Thank you for this report. I hope this story has legs and the right ppl will investigate to clear this story up and bring truth to the forefront! Whistle blowers need our full protection.
FORCED self-inflicted... 😰😰😰
The companies executives are resigning at the end of the year...
I retired from Boeing. It used to be an engineering company that built planes and it was run by engineers. Then McDonnell Douglass bought Boeing and started working to weaken the unions. The current Boeing is run by accountants and lawyers. That is the problem. This never would have happened if Alan Mulally had been made CEO. His mantra was "tell me the problem, don't hide it. I can't help fix it if I don't know about it."
And with this diversity agenda, corporate America will continue to circle the drain.
My heart hurts for this family. I'm glad his parents will pursue the lawsuit. JUSTICE must prevail. (F the share price.)
Poor guy. He clearly has been vindicated. Wheels falling off, doors falling off, it's like they don't ever seen to realize that their profits are connected to their quality. Nobody believes in Boeing anymore, and it's not because of this guy, it's their own damn fault. They should've listened before they killed their brand.
More Corporate cuts one way or another
I can’t believe you are reporting on this very surprising
And yet... where are the consequences?
Prayers for these people in Jesus name.
I hope they really investigate this thoroughly. Something here is just not right! My condolences to his family.
Boeing sucks!!! This man did nit exit himself! RIP sir!
This is end stage capitalism, silencing the messenger, all about profits without safety.
this is fashchcism.
I fly all the time thanks to this man rip I’m not getting on Boeing anymore.
The whole world needs people that keep others safe.
Wow and boeing continues
Such lies.. Everybody Knows he was killed....
Everyone in a Boeing family is asking, will my loved one be murdered next?
THE COMPANY MAKING TO MANY MISTAKES SOON TURN ON EACH OTHER!
The reason Boeing opened a plant in NC is because they're not unionized. Union workers cost a LOT more
Disgrace so sad! RIP
No doubt that they put a hit on him. It’s common practice in big business. Boeing has lost so many contracts to Airbus after the 737 Max mishaps. I will say, I prefer ti fly the side stick and Airbus is a safer plane.
I wonder how much they paid for the hit. Unfortunate because Boeing is gonna suffer regardless of his testimony
Appreciate you asked if it wasnt suicide💔
All lies will be exposed in 2024-Kat Williams
Prophetic 🔥
God Christ bless this brave man...RIP...His family and the public got his eternal back and Boeing will eventually be held accountable...Other witnesses of...integrity...courage...love for humanity...will eventually add more information to this tragic but important issue...
The parents are heartbroken; he was indeed targeted and murdered by them. I've already decided I'm NEVER flying on a plane made by Boeing. I will change my itinerary if need be, but I will never, ever support this company as long as I live.
Condolences. 😢
Did Boeing release a statement of condolences? No?
Right.
John Wick visited him. Not suicide
Boeing needs to be thoroughly investigated by a third party,
By an independent, unbiased 3rd party. Does that even exist??
What parent would hope the investigation would be straight forward and honest. Was his son suicidal??????????? Why not say it!
Not buying it .now look at what his loyalty got him .
My heart goes out to his family during this time, but I will never believe that he commited suicide.
Sure it was!
So cute to watch them try to regain credibility after lying constantly.
Perhaps the Warren Commission should investigate.
Wasn't this guy like the week before his death saying things like "they're going to get me I'm going to be next" , they need a real investigation into what happened to this guy
How many times have we heard that cause of death? 🤔
The fact that anyone can be complacent with trading safety for profit blows my mind, but anymore it seems to be the unacceptable standard. Shame on Boeing for selling lives and in turn their reputation. There's no recovering from these kinds of oopsies, Boeing. If only they cared.
😲 It's Karen Silkwood all over again. Allegedly
I’ve worked in a global corporation. I know what it’s like from the inside to be in those kinds of meetings. You learn early to be a yes person. Once you know the hierarchy, and how people get promoted, it tells you how you need to speak. That doesn’t mean you can’t suggest something, but it means you have to suggest things in a way that isn’t against the norms. It’s very hard to move your ideas forward in that culture.
What happens to a lawsuit when he’s gone?
Imagine doing the right thing and then being killed for it.
Boeing’s bottom line ($$) is greater than safety. This is completely unacceptable. Who oversees them? Obviously thay are not addressing safety correctly with so many airplane failures. This company used to be one you could trust.
RIP John🌎☀️💙
Man was murdered.
Boeing 100% kiIIed the whistleblower. The gun was found in his hand. No, he would have dropped it, or it would have been knocked out of his hand by the steering wheel, console, dashboard, etc...
I'm sure he was murdered 😢
He was murdered. A whistleblower who suddenly died from a ‘apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound? Where is the FBI?
They definitely retaliated.
Killery must have had stock in the company.
Sorry how’s this foul play if he already a whistle bower?
He was in the middle of providing depositions.
Didn't he say "I am not suicidaI" before he was kiIIed?
Boing would do well as an engineering led company. Firing the managers, especially those responsible for the tragic loss of life.
“The coroner says he died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.” Of course. Boeing believes in hiring nothing but the very best hit men to carry out their assassinations. Quality work every time. If only Boeing were as meticulous about building airplanes.
WTF Boeing!!! 👀😡🤬
We know he didn't do this to himself!!!
There's have to be a paper trail, and boeing might have some serious consequences.
God bless Jon this makes me sad
No one should believe this courageous man killed himself.
A man of integrity who had been. HIRED by the company to oversee safety and quality, doing "his job" and doing it right. This is not going to go away until we find out what happened and we "don't" believe it was suicide until a LOT MORE information is unearthed. We are fed up with mysterious "suicides' of people who know too much about "crimes" of others.
Let the crew over at 48 hours have the case
He didn’t even have a gun did he?
They definitely killed him one way or the other. Either by literally putting him down or by mentally putting him down.
Just because he was calling out Boeing’s BS. Sad.
