Boeing had better get this aircraft sorted out...soon.And completely.Otherwise one of the only US companies left that commands respect and makes money could be in *very* serious trouble.

They probably quickly realized some ground crew employee was cooking goat in the back and the cooking fire got away from him, and it was likely that wasn’t Boeing’s fault.

Take away lesson? Issue instructions to the rest of their employees to be more careful with their cooking fires and the rest of the fleet should just be fine to continue flying.

I once got onto a C-47 in Korea that was flying to one of the outer islands and there were goats and other critters on it, as well as kimchi.

Aren’t battery fires on parked 787s a known problem?

I have not read the article in its entirety but heard the problem was overheated wiring related to an air conditioning unit.

The top of the fuselage and front of the empennage are seriously burned. Is the entire airframe a loss? I wonder what might be salvageable.

I toured the Boeing factory a few weeks ago for the second time. Truly fascinating to me. I think I understood the tour guide to say that there is a 13-year waiting list for their jets.

Nice to see Boeing working with the airlines to reintroduce smoking flights.
