No wonder FITS is acting as an Apologist for the Muslim, Child-killer Jihadists…He hates America as much as the Terrorists…of course FITS likely thinks Mass. is the bomb (no pun.) It’s his kind of state (liberal)…

I’d just LOVE to see FITS (and any of his America-hater followers) living in one of the countries they think is so much better than the U.S.

Last weekend I had an extensive conversation with an engineer from Boeing. His “normal” project is the new AF tanker. He, along with other engineers at Boeing, was “drafted” to work on the 787 problem. The “problem” (as usual) was not the big deal that media (and Sic Willie) loves to make of these type situations. A plane was not going to “go down” because of it. The “fix” was relatively simple.

I wouldn’t knock the severity of a battery catching on fire on a plane. That isn’t something you want happening when you’re halfway across the Pacific/Atlantic Ocean.

That being said, there’s an undeniable “witch hunt” atmosphere against Boeing on this site. We know, we know, “incentives r wrong!” Willie treats Boeing like a bad ex he still has feelings for.

Smirks, as told to me, it was more smoke than fire. The plane’s ventilation system vented the smoke to the cargo hold as per design. Of course you want none of the above to occur, but the danger, as usual, was blown out of proportion by media.

I think you all miss the point. The smoldering battery is located on a rack in the cargo that also holds the aeronautics computer systems. While there is a manual backup, it is extremely dangerous to have fire near these systems and have a CPU failure due to it.

So is SC so insecure we have to put our logo on the side of a plane. Reminds me of “it’s a great day…….”

It is for Boeing, NIMRATA just gave them another $120million.
Don’t worry though, it isn”t real money, it’s just “incentives”.
Total now is ONE BILLION TWENTY MILLION!!
