A severe and potentially catastrophic flaw has been identified in nearly 300 Boeing 777 jets operated by major airlines, including United and American Airlines.
This flaw, rooted in an electrical issue, poses a risk of causing the aircraft’s wing fuel tanks to ignite and explode, a recent investigation by Daily Mail has disclosed.

Anyone else here remember the ‘cocktail party video’?
I saw it the day it happened. A bunch of people were sitting at a dock-side bar, overlooking the water. In the background a streak shoots up into the sky and there is an explosion at the top.
Saw it with my own eyes.
It was shown ONLY once... and then never again.
After that, I never trusted ‘the media’ again. Everyone in the news room kept quiet about that to protect Clinton.

From news18.com story:
“ Embattled US aircraft maker Boeing has identified a big flaw in its 777 aircraft fleet that could lead to onboard fires. The problem arises from inadequate electrical insulation near the fuel tank, according to a proposal from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in March.
If left unaddressed, the flaw could trigger ignition within the fuel tank, resulting in fires or explosions, the New York Post reported. The affected aircraft include nearly 300 Boeing 777s across the US, spanning various models such as the 77–200, –200LR, –300, –300ER, and 777F series. After Boeing disclosed the issues, the FAA proposed a $14 million solution to rectify the issue across all 292 affected US-registered airplanes.
This solution entails installing electrical bonding and grounding components in the center fuel tank, as outlined in the proposed Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the FAA. The proposed repairs involve thorough inspections, lasting approximately 90 hours per aircraft, followed by the installation of Teflon sleeves and cap fasteners in specific areas of the fuel tanks.“

Whoops - I thought you were equating the 747 with the 777 to which the article referenced.

After that, I never trusted ‘the media’ again. Everyone in the news room kept quiet about that to protect Clinton. This is exactly correct. The missile was fired by Iranian mercenaries who were hired by a Wealthy Iranian family to get revenge for the USS Vincennes shooting down Iran-Air flight 655.
I know someone who was in a place to know the truth, and he gave me the scoop on this incident. He specifically says that Clinton ordered a coverup because if the American people knew the truth, they would demand war with Iran.
The government of Iran disavowed any role in the incident and disowned the men involved, even though they were either former or current members of the Republican guard, and they were supposedly punished for their role in the event.

“That’s what they claimed happened to Flight 800.
Despite Stephanopoulos admitting that it was blown up.”
Maybe the alphabet agencies have reason to believe that an airline terrorist attack is imminent and so they are seeding the excuse in advance.

I remember Cardinal O’Connor was at the airport comforting the relatives. Clinton announced he was coming to the airport. O’Connor told Clinton flatout. If you come to the airport I will leave. Clinton changed his mind.

Right! More Boeing-bashing, amplified by a hysterical sensational if-it-leads-it-bleeds media, and promoted to the ignorant public as click-bait.
Boeing self-disclosed a problem it found, an AD was issued in March and is being or has already been complied with, to rule out a potential safety problem.
It’s routine, case closed. It’s one big reason why aviation is so safe. Not the opposite.

If you want the real excitement/headline clickbait read the FAA “Emergency AD’s”... that is where the real crash/die/blood headlines are:
