Boeing Co. is investigating after a noose was found hanging at its plant in South Carolina.

The foot-long noose made from nylon was discovered Thursday hanging in the aft-body building of Boeing's North Charleston campus where the aircraft manufacturer makes its 787 Dreamliner jets.

There was no note or any other corresponding materials found with the knotted rope explaining why it was hung or who may have been its intended target.

In a letter to employees circulated on Thursday, Brad Zaback, vice president and general manager of Boeing's 787 program, said the company is investigating and will take 'appropriate and necessary action' against whoever is responsible.

'I am saddened and angered that a racially-charged symbol was discovered on site,' Zaback said in his statement, which was reported in the Post and Courier.

'Diversity and inclusion are core to Boeing's enduring values, and there is absolutely no place for racism and these cowardly acts in society and especially in our company. We will work through this, and I appreciate all of you looking out for each other.'

North Charleston is the city where a black man named Walter Scott was fatally shot in the back while running from a white former police officer named Michael Slager in April of 2015.

A hung jury prevented Slager from being convicted of murder under state law, but he eventually pleaded guilty in federal court to violating Scott's civil rights and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The Boeing plant is only 12 miles away from Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston where white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine black worshipers in June of 2015.

Roof was sentenced to death in January of 2017 and remains on death row.

More recently, actor Jussie Smollett was arrested and charged for allegedly orchestrating a noose-involved fake hate crime against himself.

Chicago police said the 36-year-old Empire actor paid two Nigerian extras on the show to beat him up, put a noose around his neck, and douse him with bleach.

Police claimed the alleged scheme was designed to boost Smollett's celebrity profile and allow him to negotiate a higher salary.
