As I recall, it was 5 Boeing employees that liberated a raft to go fishing on one of their local rivers. Within a few minutes after inflating the raft (the ELT go off when the raft is inflated), the Coast Guard SAR chopper showed up, followed by the Sheriff and other local law enforcement agencies. Other than embarrassed, I understand these 5 no longer are employed by Boeing. John Shinn

And they wonder why we test...? I think the funniest one I heard of is of an airplane manufacturer's employee stealing a floatation raft and using it on at a lake on vacation. The rest you can imagine! Maybe it was folklore...
