Also see this thread if you haven’t already — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1956225/posts?page=1 (posted by Virginia Ridgerunner) — an article from the Daily Mail including the tidbit:

“Inquiries by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch appear to rule out any form of pilot error in the approach for landing. One area of specific interest will be the electrical system after it emerged yesterday that there had been at least 12 serious incidents of overheating, causing “major damage” to power panels on at least four occasions.”

A friend of mine was in town this week. He flies C-5Cs in the Air Force Reserve, and is a 777 Captain for United, flying mostly international routes (due to his seniority with the airline).

I asked him about it - and he said:

"That ain't supposed to happen."

He is no dummy (obviously) but even he was stumped.
