I could be totally wrong, but generally where there ‘s smoke, there’s fire. We just don’t know who started it. I mean, no planes went down and most aircraft experince maintenance problems which generally are NOT reported by ALL the media. So why was Boeing so special?

********************************
New Tech that is generally not approved (LiON batteries)
New aircraft construction type for large passenger craft
The FedGov is unhappy with Boeings move away from union states
The failures occurred randomly , not even when the parts were under stress. and the batteries are a critical design element , they can’t just replace them with another type.

It happened in Japan.

I had one bird caught fire and the local media was all in our shorts for months. We had the local mayor pay us a visit and we had to do the old dog and pony show.
