美国联邦航空局调查波音公司在一些787梦想客机上伪造记录

全美电视5月7日华盛顿报道,美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)接到飞机制造商波音(Boeing)的通知,称一些公司员工未能完成对部分787梦想客机(Dreamliner)的具体检查,但却谎称检查已经完成,实质上是伪造检查记录。 据美国联邦航空局称,仍在波音公司的飞机正在接受重新检查。一位了解情况的消息人士表示,波音工程师进行了评估,认为不会立即出现安全问题,因为787飞机在制造时有多个冗余装置,以防止雷击等事件。 联邦航空局发言人一份声明中说:“随着调查的继续,联邦航空局将一如既往地采取任何必要行动,以确保公众飞行的安全。” 在此之后,该公司已展开正式调查。检查证实,连接机翼和机身的紧固件有足够的粘合和接地。测试的目的是确认飞机是否能正确接地,抵御像雷击这样的电流。 据知情人士透露,可能涉及的飞机数量约为450架,其中约60架仍在波音生产系统内。波音公司在4月29日通过787项目副总裁兼总经理斯科特·斯托克(Scott Stocker)的电子邮件向员工通报了这一情况。该封电子邮件称,波音的工程团队已经“评估了这种不当行为不会立即造成飞行安全问题”。 斯托克赞扬了波音公司南卡罗来纳州的一名员工发现并报告了这一问题,“队友在翼身连接处的一致性测试中发现了一个不正常的地方。他向他的经理提出了这个问题,他的经理把这个问题引起了行政领导层的注意,在收到报告后,我们迅速审查了此事,并了解到有几个人违反了公司的政策,没有进行要求的测试,而是将工作记录为已经完成。” 斯托克告诉员工,波音公司“对不遵守旨在确保质量和安全的流程是零容忍的”,公司正在“与多名队友们一起采取迅速而认真的纠正措施”。 在这封电子邮件发出不到两周前,波音公司的一名质量工程师在参议院一个小组委员会作证,他说他对787梦幻客机的生产提出了担忧,但管理层对这些担忧不予理会。 波音公司拒绝讨论涉及飞机的具体数量,因为它表示仍在收集有关情况的信息,但可能有数百架飞机,表明这种情况可能已经持续了很长一段时间。 美国联邦航空局还没有确定787实际上存在安全问题或生产过程中的缺陷。目前,美国联邦航空局还没有确定目前在役的梦想飞机是否存在直接的安全问题。

抖音公司起诉拜登政府,称禁令违反第一修正案

全美电视5月7日华盛顿报道,隶属中国字节跳动公司的抖音(TikTok)今天在美国华盛顿特区巡回上诉法院提起诉讼,起诉拜登政府的对该公司的禁令违反了第一修正案。 抖音公司指称拜登政府的《保护美国人免受外国对手控制的应用程序法案》违反了宪法对言论自由的保护,以国家安全为由并不是限制言论自由的充分理由。 上个月美国通过的《保护美国人免受外国对手控制的应用程序法案》旨在迫使该应用程序的中国所有者出售该应用程序或将其禁止。 抖音公司在诉讼中写道:“这是历史上第一次,国会颁布了一项法律,对一个单一的、有名无实的言论平台实施永久性的全国性禁令,并禁止每个美国人参与一个拥有全球 10 多亿人的独特在线社区。” 该公司辩称,援引国家安全担忧并不是限制言论自由的充分理由,联邦政府有责任证明这种限制是合理的。诉讼称,它没有履行这一责任。诉讼称该法律“史无前例地违反”了《第一修正案》。 自美国总统拜登于 今年4 月 24 日签署该法案以来,抖音公司所提起的诉讼可能将延长禁令,或延迟出售该公司的时间。 抖音的母公司字节跳动已有一年多的时间采取行动。现在,法律程序将意味着拜登政府的禁令可能需要数年时间才能生效。
