Boeing shuts down Chinook production line in Pennsylvania
By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press WriterWed May 14, 5:00 PM ET
Army criminal investigators are looking into damage to two military
helicopters on a production line at a Boeing Co. plant in suburban
Philadelphia, prompting the company to shut down the line.
Rep. Joe Sestak, a Democrat whose district includes the plant, said
Wednesday he was told that wires that appeared to be broken or severed
were found in one helicopter and a suspicious washer was found in a second.
There is a "low probability that it was not deliberate," Sestak said,
but he added that unintentional damage remains a possibility. Sestak
said he has communicated with company and union officials at the plant
and was told the investigation could take two weeks.
The company didn't disclose specifics about why it shut down the H-47
Chinook line Tuesday at the Boeing Rotorcraft Systems plant in Ridley
Township, Pa. About 60 workers stayed home on Wednesday and the company
said no decision has been made on whether they would be asked to return
to work on Thursday.
