Episode Details

A gripping new Netflix documentary, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing, uncovers the chilling story of whistleblowers who warned of slipping safety standards at the aerospace giant — only to be silenced or ignored. Centered on John Barnett, a quality manager whose life was cut short after speaking out, the film follows his courageous fight and the stories of others who risked everything to prevent catastrophe. Through heartbreaking interviews with families of victims from the Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes, and powerful testimony from suppliers like Santiago Paredes — dubbed “showstopper” for halting production to protect lives — the documentary exposes how corporate pressure drowned out safety concerns. It’s a sobering, human-driven account of accountability, sacrifice, and the devastating cost of ignoring warning signs.
