The second - if you assume it's on behalf of Boeing could easily backfire if he went to the press with the threats.
I have a normal 2016 car which can do this no problem— maybe it’s impossible with other cars but that would seem very odd to me.
90 year old expiring from cancer? That's what they want you to think!
In fact, we'll never know. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... or at least, some.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but neither is it proof.
At least for Boeing, they’ll be benefiting from the fear other potential whistleblowers may have.
But it’s also possible that Boeing don’t know about the deaths because someone else has done it for them. But that’s when we start going down the rabbit hole of suspects from Mossad to the CIA!
Regardless, the big question is: Would they have the stomach to do it if they they could get away with it?
…to ME, that has a very easy answer.
Edit: Why the downvotes? Not rational enough? Or too rational?
(a) You're starting from just finding out Boeing is a major defense contractor.
(b) Everything after that is your opinions on conspiracy theories, without any content.
b) So tell me, would Boeing benefit from whistleblowers being too scared to blow their whistles? If I am wrong to make that assumption, then please tell me why? AND for a business which provides the actual missiles which have wiped out around 15000 children, would that company have any qualms about a threat to their business disappearing?
What I said was logical. And there is no way you will be able to provide anything which is more logical and SANE than what I have said. But, I am OPEN to think about whatever reply you have.
Your opinion can be logical, but everyone has their own opinion.
If you want suggestions, I'd recommend taking an approach of "What are you including in your comment that would interest or inform someone, versus the other millions of opinions on the internet?"
Or, 'Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.' https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Also, while we're at it, 'Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.'
Yes, opinions are like arsehole’s… everyone has one. However, for lack of logical opinions like mine in a sub thread relating to thoughts of conspiracy, I personally feel that mine does have the ability to spark a second thought about a situation. If you don’t agree, that’s your opinion.
And thanks for your tips on emphasism - highly interesting and informing.

Large companies are in certain ways like governments, by which different parts of them can be doing entirely different, even divergent things that aren't quite congruent with the benefit of the wider whole. In other words, often one hand doesn't know what the other is doing, even if the activity is batshit crazy and a bad idea, and this is sometimes by design.
