Suicide of whistle-blower.

This is a weird story. The pressure finally got too much for him? They were going to ruin him financially in court? His wife dumped him?

Whistleblower engineer on 787 program in the news. The carbon fiber fuselage sections that weren’t fitting together (we read that in the news way back when - pieces built by various manufacturers) were forced together leaving gaps where epoxy didn’t get to.
