Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines plane that made an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew off this year have started to receive letters from the F.B.I. identifying them as possible victims of a crime.

The letters are a sign that a criminal investigation the Justice Department has opened into Boeing, the manufacturer of the 737 Max 9 jet, is ramping up.

    If I were a passenger I’d ask the FBI for protection and application to the witness relocation program…

      They killed the whistleblower after the whistle was blown, so maybe they would.

      Edit: I wrote should. What the fuck is wrong with me?

          @Wizard_Pope @FlyingSquid They literally are though, boeing is allowed to dump all kinds of weird chemicals into the water and the sewer filtration can’t handle it. It contaminates Tacoma’s sewer biomass sourced garden fertilizer, which people illegally use on crops and weed because it’s so cheap. Has literal residual medications in it too btw. Just a weird cocktail of random drugs in trace amounts. Probably nothing to worry about.
