787 Dreamliner On Fire Again
Antipater writes "It looks like there's more trouble afoot for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner: London's Heathrow Airport was shut down for over an hour as fire crews attended to a 'suspected fire' on a Dreamliner owned by Ethiopia Airlines. 'Aerial pictures of the scene on the U.K.'s Sky News showed the new plane — which was not carrying passengers at the time — had been sprayed by foam, but there were no signs of fire. The aircraft was not blocking either runway, but with all the airport's fire crews tackling the Boeing 787 incident, authorities were forced to suspend departures and arrivals because of safety rules.'"
"Well, I was pretty sure I smelled smoke!"
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
Should have stuck with the Japanese manufacturers. Caucasians are too tall and gangly. Asians are shorter and closer to the electronic parts, and therefore can see them better.
I have a fantastic plan to sell little electronic fingers that you put in your ears. They have speakers in them and play, "La-la-la-la-la...". What? Not a sound business model? I can't hear you.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
I see - metaphorically - what you did there.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
No, they should rename it to the Boeing 451 Screamliner.
At this point, they should rename it to the Boeing 451 Dreamliner
Boeing 787 Hindenburg more like!
...Dear NSA,
despite the use of the word "terrorism", I have no intention of violating US laws in order to influence US politics. I'm just using what little remains of my first amendment rights...
Noted. But don't think that this means you haven't been put on our lists for 'special' attention....
