Boeing whistleblower testifies in US Congress about defects in planes

A Boeing engineer who fears parts of the company's 787 Dreamliner planes could break apart in mid-air has testified at a US Senate hearing.
 
The employee says his concerns were ignored by Boeing over three years, and alleges that he was physically threatened by his bosses.
 
He also claims that he saw workers jumping on plane parts like Tarzan to get them to align.
 
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the claims of safety issues with how the planes are built.
 
Boeing is under scrutiny over a series of incidents, including when a door blew out of a 737 Max plane shortly after take-off.
