Even hobbyists, most of whom are not chemists, know that Li batteries provide their own O2 in thermal runaway events.

Their claim is probably accurate.
The battery won’t catch fire.
It’ll just explode instead...

Sounds like they are turning it into a pipe bomb instead.
The pressure has to go somewhere.

Much of the same green thinking that went into these batteries were what caused the Columbia disaster, I pray we don’t see another caused because of PC thinking here.
Seems the best foam was not used on the SS because of ozone restrictions by the EPA, even though when that bad boy went THROUGH the ozone it did about a million times more damage to it than a few whiffs of esters ever could.
Why are they using these at all, to reduce running the APU?

Sinnett defended the performance of the lithium-ion battery packs to date... Other than that, how did you enjoy the play Mrs. Lincoln?

My policy is to never buy a car that is in it’s first model year, or to fly on a new model airplane.
I won’t fly on an A-380 for a couple more years or a 787 for at least 5.

This is big news here (seattle area). In none of the reports has there been note that the battery is fixed.
Just that it is contained.
Comforting. /s

If man were ment to fly he would have wings.
Travel over 60 mph will suck the air out of passengers' lungs and cause them to suffocate.
Shut down the patent office. Everything that will be invented has been invented.
If we listened to this advice, there would never be technological innovation. That innovation involves risk. Boeing will fix the problem while some just continue to wring their hands in despair.

The 787 chief engineer sounds like an incompetent political boob. This is so obviously putting a bandaid on cancer it’s ridiculous. The MBAs (Master Bullhockey Artists) are clearly in charge at Boeing.
