Whistleblower on DeepWater Program makes YouTube video of Security and Safety Violations.
Michael DeKort, engineer, has gone up and down the chain of command,including Congress, Homeland Security, . Evidently he isn't getting any interest in the Security or Safety issues he is raising with the Lockheed Martin DeepWater Program. He feels so strongely that he is bringing his findings to the public. You have to respect someone with that level of dedication who is willing to put his career and livelyhood on the line. His own words are below:
"Video describing serious safety and security problems with the Deepwater Program - specifically the 123 class of patrol boats. This video is factual . I created the video and posted it hoping someone with the right connections sees it and can assist me in fixing the problems. While the DHS IG is currently investigating the issues the US Coast Guard has been stonewalling and not cooperating fully. As such the investigation cannot conclude. My hope is to instill a sense of urgency"

Its 10 minutes long. But its worth watching. I can't post the video here, which sucks..but thats life on these blogs..The video has already had over 25,000 views. An article up on ABC news here for those that can't or don't want to watch the video.
