Boeing slams Al Jazeera over documentary
The Boeing Co. calls a new documentary from Al Jazeera English about its 787 Dreamliner “as biased a production as we have seen in some time” and called it “neither balanced nor accurate in its portrayal of the airplane, our employees, or our suppliers.”
The documentary, which is entitled “Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787,” latches on to previous problems with the aircraft — delays in bringing it to the market and the lithium-ion battery incidents that led to the plane’s global grounding — and adds in surreptitiously obtained footage of employees at Boeing’s South Carolina plant discussing their continued concerns over the Dreamliner’s safety.
