Dan Applegate was a senior engineer with Convair, subcontractors for the design and building of the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 aircraft. In 1972, Applegate voiced his concerns to management about potential design faults in the aircraft’s cargo doors. In his view, the aircraft’s cargo doors could potentially open mid-flight. Should this occur, there would be instantaneous depressurisation of the cargo area. It follows that the passenger cabin, which lay just above, would buckle under the pressure. He believed that if this were to happen, the plane’s essential control lines would be cut and the pilot’s control of the aircraft lost. A potentially fatal crash would seem immanent. Management however, believed that his proposed changes would be too costly to implement and so the necessary changes were never made. Applegate never “blew the whistle” and in 1974, a DC﷓10 aircraft crashed on the outskirts of Paris, killing all 346 people onboard. It was later ascertained that the crash was due to the same technical fault Applegate had foreseen two years prior to that tragic day. (Grace 1998:148)

This essay will examine the ethical issues faced by workers just like Dan Applegate – employees who are placed in a position in which the knowledge of illegal or unethical company activity becomes known to them. Firstly it will examine the definition of whistle blowing...

Get the picture? I really need to reword that. It doesn't flow well.

Here's a slightly reworded intro; runs a little better (hopefully)...

What uni are you at, DJ Dowlz? If your library has access to the ProQuest or LexisNexis electronic databases, use those. They're a goldmine of journal and newspaper articles.

I'm a 4th year management student, so I know a little bit about this sorta thing I did fairly well in ethics, so PM me for any help.

2500? On Tuesday? Pfft.

Try writing a 3000 word company law essay the night before its due, then finishing it off on the day its due. Now that takes talent.

Thanx SQ-K for the changes! I've actually got quite a number of photocopied chapters from ethics books, so research ain't a problem. But thanks for the advice about ProQuest etc. It's a pity I'm not actually in Adelaide atm so I can't access the library. But oh well. Professional Ethics is only an elective subject for me (I'm studying 2nd year med).

Yah I read about that. Similiar story to the above. A guy in the engineering firm said you shouldn't launch it at low temperatures, his manager didn't pass it on, NASA did the launch and then they had the "slight technical problem".
