Boeing Dreamliner Catches Fire In Boston

Posted by timothy on from the but-it's-not-even-warm-in-boston dept.

19061969 writes "The BBC reports that a Boeing 787 Dreamliner caught fire in Boston. Carter Leake, an analyst at BB&T Capital Markets in Virginia, said, 'I don't want to be an alarmist, but onboard fires on airplanes are as bad as it gets.' This represents bad news for Boeing especially after the FAA identified errors in the assembly of fuel line couplings in the Dreamliner."

    Dear passengers: I have bad and good news for you. The bad news: we lost a wing. The good news: it was on fire anyway.
