A Boeing whistleblower spoke up Wednesday about a "cover-up" of an incident involving one of the company's planes.
Ed Pierson, a former senior manager for Boeing, on Wednesday appeared before the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee to speak about several incidents involving Boeing planes.
During his testimony, Pierson spoke about the incident where a Boeing 737 MAX-9 plane, operated by Alaska Airlines, had a door panel break off shortly after take-off.
"I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, this is a criminal cover-up," Pierson said during his testimony. "A five-minute testimony is not nearly enough time to explain how insidious this story is. Boeing's corporate leaders continue to conceal the truth, they continue to mislead and deceive the public about the safety of planes."
Newsweek reached out to Boeing via email for comment.
