The Seattle Times’ take on the Al Jazeera allegations

Boeing watchers may find that a documentary on the Dreamliner that debuts this week on Al Jazeera English, like the 787’s smoldering batteries in 2013, produces more heat than light.

Like those powerful and problematic lithium ion batteries, however, the documentary does raise troubling questions and leave some matters unresolved.

“Broken Dreams: The Boeing 787” is likely to attract a lot of eyeballs both here and in South Carolina, where workers at the North Charleston plant — recorded without their knowledge — express some disturbing opinions about the plane.
