Air India 787 Accident Exposes 24 Year Boeing Certification Collapse:FAA Documentation Confirms Risk of In Flight Engine Shutdown from Faulty Switches
eTravel Wire/10348519

STRATFORD, Conn. - eTravelWire -- INDIA MUST BE WARNED: The Air India 787 Accident Is Not an Isolated Failure — It Is a Symptom of a 24‑Year Collapse Inside Boeing and the U.S. Oversight System

The Air India Boeing 787 accident cannot be properly investigated without acknowledging a systemic breakdown inside Boeing's quality, certification, and regulatory oversight structure — a collapse I have documented for U.S. federal authorities, including DHS, DoD, DOJ, and Commerce.

This is not speculation.
This is not theory.
This is documented fact.

FAA DOCUMENT CONFIRMS A CRITICAL SAFETY RISK — INCLUDING ON THE 787

The FAA's Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin SAIB NM‑18‑33 (Dec. 17, 2018) warns that Boeing aircraft — including the 787‑8, 787‑9, and 787‑10 and other models — contain a fuel‑control switch whose locking mechanism can disengage.

The FAA states:

"If the locking feature is disengaged, the switch can be moved between the two positions without lifting the switch… and the switch would be exposed to the potential of inadvertent operation. Inadvertent operation of the switch could result in an unintended consequence, such as an in‑flight engine shutdown."

In plain language:

Vibration or movement in flight can cause the switch to slip into the OFF position — shutting down an engine.

This applies directly to the Boeing 787 fleet.

DHS TESTIMONY — AND THE CRITICAL EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED

April 17, 2024 — DHS Subcommittee (Under Penalty of Arrest)

On April 17, 2024, I stood before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Subcommittee — under penalty of ejection or arrest — and presented evidence proving: https://www.newstribune.com/photos/2024/apr/18/3749044/

• Boeing abandoned on‑site supplier auditing in 2002
• Boeing has not resumed it for 24 years
• Every aircraft produced since 2002 carries this systemic defect

This alone invalidates the integrity of every Boeing aircraft delivered worldwide — including the Air India 787.

June 18, 2024 — Return to DHS for the Alaska Airlines 1282 Door‑Plug Failure

June 18, 2024, I returned to the DHS Subcommittee for the hearing involving Boeing CEO David Calhoun regarding the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 door‑plug blowout.

In the audience, a mother whose daughter was killed in one of the Ethiopian Airlines or Indonesian Lion Air crashes (2018–2019) stood up and screamed at Calhoun:

"You killed my daughter — you killed my family!"

Her anguish was not emotional rhetoric.
It was the human cost of Boeing's 24‑year abandonment of AS9100 oversight.

June 27, 2024 — Reuters Interview: Boeing's Vice President of Quality Confesses

Just nine days after that DHS hearing, Boeing Vice President of Quality Elizabeth Lund gave a Reuters interview in which she stated:

• Boeing was "willing and prepared "to obtain AS9100 certification"
  • Boeing was "compliant" to the AS9100 standard"
  • Boeing was "conducting internal audits" as if certified to AS9100"

These statements were categorically FALSE!.

• No FAA investigator

had ever gone.

I spent nearly a month Washington State- inside Boeing's production ecosystem — Everett, Renton, Auburn, and Northfield.

What I found was not a quality system.
It was a vacuum:

• Employees had no idea what AS9100 even was
• No internal audits had ever been performed
• Aircraft lifecycle documentation in archives was missing employees said
• Supervisors didn't allow employees from attending safety meetings because "the plane needs to get to the next station"

THE 23-YEAR BOEING / ANAB / IAQG FUNNEL ANALYSIS Exposed by Daryl Guberman The Quality Expert Who Uncovered the Largest Industrial & Fiduciary-FRAUD https://www.prlog.org/13116328-the-23-year-boeing-anab-iaqg-funnel-analysis-exposed-by-daryl-guberman-the-quality-expert-who-uncovered-the-largest-industrial-fiduciary-fraud.html

This was the moment crystallized:

Boeing never obtained AS9100 because AS9100 would have slowed production.

Internal audits take time.
Time slows the line.
Slowing the line costs money.

So in April & July 2002, Boeing:

• Gave up on on‑site supplier auditing (April 2002 Heat treatment, welding)
• Adopted an AS9100 (January 2026 now AI9100)

ANAB‑accredited "send‑in‑your‑certificate, send‑in‑your‑parts" model

• Eliminated internal audits
• Eliminated management reviews
• Eliminated the controls required by AS9100

This was not an oversight.
It was intentional.
And it continued for 24 years.

BOEING OPERATED WITHOUT AS9100 FOR 24 YEARS — WHILE FORCING SUPPLIERS TO COMPLY

From 2002–Present, Boeing:

• Never held AS9100 certification
• Forced every supplier worldwide to be AS9100 and NADCAP certified
• Refused to comply with the same standard it demanded
• Promoted the false narrative that "FAA airworthiness supersedes AS9100"

This deception misled:

• Regulators
• Suppliers
• International authorities
• Federal agencies
• Outsourced inspectors
• The global aerospace supply chain

FEDERAL AGENCIES WERE COMPROMISED — AND FINANCIALLY ENTANGLED

My investigation uncovered that the following SAMPLE are U.S. agencies that are members, some are customers, or financial contributors to ANSI–ANAB, the same accreditation body whose identity collapsed:

DHS • DOJ • DOC/NIST • DOS • DOD • FDA • FAA • NASA • EPA • USDA • CDC • NIH • SEC • DOT •NASA

These some of these agencies paid ANSI–ANAB $890,872 in 2024 alone, six years after the 2018 contract fraud was exposed.

This created a structural conflict:

FEDERAL CONTRACT FRAUD: DOS 2018 & DOJ 2025

Two federal contracts contain unresolved accreditation irregularities:

• DOS Contract 19AQMM18R0131 (2018) — falsely lists ANAB as an "underwriter," a role no accreditation body can legally hold
  
  
• DOJ Contract 15F06725C0000139 (2025) — references a defunct accreditation identity

These anomalies remain uncorrected.

THE BOEING–AIRBUS ACCREDITATION COLLAPSE: 2002–PRESENT" A comprehensive forensic report documenting Boeing's twenty-four-year non-certification gap, the ANAB entity designation fraud, the systemic failure of aerospace quality accreditation under the AS9100/AS9110/AS9120 standards, and the material impact on corporate financial disclosures and executive compensation. https://guberman-quality.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ACCREDITATION-COLLAPSE-2002-PRESENT-BOEING-AIRBUS.pdf

My 2026 forensic report proves:

• Boeing intentionally avoided AS9100
• FAA oversight collapsed through ODA delegation
• ANAB's accreditation identity failed
• Federal agencies relied on invalid accreditation
• National security was compromised
• International regulators were misled
• The global supply chain was built on a false foundation

This is the largest industrial and fiduciary failure in modern aerospace history.

DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation-India)    MUST NOT RELY ON BOEING OR FAA STATEMENTS

The FAA and Boeing have material conflicts of interest.
DGCA must conduct an independent investigation using:

• FAA SAIB NM‑18‑33- https://drs.faa.gov/browse/excelExternalWindow/BBE820D0419DB3358625836600761396.0001?modalOpened=true
• Federal contract evidence
• Accreditation‑chain analysis
• My DHS testimony
• My field investigation findings

CLOSING STATEMENT

For 40 years, I have lived and breathed quality — not as a slogan, but as a discipline.

I have followed the evidence wherever it led, even when it pointed to the institutions sworn to protect the public.

I have exposed what may be the largest industrial and fiduciary failure in modern history.

The Air India 787 accident is not an anomaly.
It is the predictable result of a 24‑year collapse.

India deserves the truth.
The world deserves the truth.
And the truth is now on record.

"All who rise while burying the truth will one day be buried by it."
