Bad enough that they are banned as cargo on commercial passenger aircraft, now trains. Still cannot figure out why Boeing stuck with Lithium batteries for the battery bus for their B-787 after multiple fires on-board.

How many fires and how many miles flown since they made modifications?
I agree. Like having a potential bomb onboard.
There hasn't been a repeat of the fire incident but I'll bet we haven't heard the last of the lithium battery pack in those 787's.
As I understand they are putting a huge drain on those batteries. Even running electric deicers. You can imagine how much current that requires.
