FAA orders all US-based airlines to ground Boeing 787 Dreamliners

[link to www.onenewspage.co.uk]

As a result of an in-flight, Boeing 787 battery incident earlier today in Japan, the FAA will issue an emergency airworthiness directive (AD) to address a potential battery fire risk in the 787 and require operators to temporarily cease operations. Before further flight, operators of U.S.-registered, Boeing 787 aircraft must demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the batteries are safe and in compliance.

Don't you mean the scream liner?

Its a shame its probably too high tech for Boeing to build but lesson will be learnt

Like buy an a310 and copy

Boeing doesn't need to EVER copy Airbus

BTW: When Airbus rolled out the A380, it had probs. with cracks in the wings. The damn WINGS. But you don't hear about that anymore.

LOL.... umm ok. that's a total of ONE 787 by ONE airline in the US. United.

How the once mighty have fallen....

Wonder how high they are going to pump up their stock share price?

Or a Scare Buss, Ill take the Rolls please.

This will get fixed. Obviously the batteries or charge controllers are defective. Imagine if out of a hundred laptops, several caught fire within months. There would be a recall.
Personally I think lithium batteries in a plane made of plastic is a big mistake. AGM batteries are heavier but much safer.

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.
