This is really sad. America once set the standard for aircraft design, reliability and safety. Fifty years of decadence and educational decline seem be taking its toll. We live in sad times.

This is almost one serious incident per day. Batteries, cracked cockpit windshield, fuel leaks....
Is this union sabotage for moving to SC, use of too many overseas parts, or really bad design?

This strikes me as a “revenge of the union thugs” kind of thing. We’ll show those SOB’s!

Electrical power requirement for 787 is 10x previous aircraft. APU batteries (for starting) changed out to LiIon which are widely known to have fire problems. Not a good sign.
