Knew a commercial pilot who told me that the 707 was so overengineered that one day it would fly into the side of a mountain, killing all aboard; but when the rescuers arrived, they would be able to fly it off.

Not affirmative action exactly. Just Boeing wanting to save money by firing American engineers and replacing them with Indians who were willing to work for 60% of what they paid the Americans.
