Okay, but in the interest of not pretending that They Would Never(tm) can we all agree that if a THIRD whistleblower dies shortly before or during testimony that maybe something is happening here? You have the guy who committed suicide in the middle of depositions after telling his friend "If I commit suicide, no I absolutely did not" and now the healthy 45 year old who all of a sudden has multiple infections and a stroke. Is there a point at which you'd accept the idea that it's a bit beyond coincidence that the deadliest place in the world seems to be the witness stand at a trial where Boeing is the defendant?
Didn't the first guy's family talk about how he was depressed out of his mind and barely knew the woman who made those claims?
You can blame Boeing for abusing and causing mental and ultimately physical deterioration of their QA staff. You can't blame them for faking suicide or giving someone pneumonia.
I still personally think that criminal charges need to be filed against their managers or coworkers, even if it's not for murder.
I'm just trying to establish conditions by which we all might agree that this is worth looking into before they happen. It's easy to try to play connect the dots with the stars, there are a bunch of them already and you can just ignore the ones that don't make the picture you want. I'm trying to add predictions to this theory in the name of the scientific method - if another whistleblower dies before his testimony is complete, that will be beyond what I can dismiss as coincidence.
