Upon further research most if not all of the L1011's have been crushed. Same with most of the DC10's other then the ones FedEx saved. Look, the 787 is going to be fabulous plane, just give it some teething time.
Not sure if this still applies, but back in the day that car manufacturers did a major remodel to a car (I think it was every 4 years) to encourage the public to want a new model, my dad always waited until the 2nd year the "new" version was out. His mantra: never buy a first generation, wait until the kinks are ironed out. Sounds like the same thing with the 787 and probably a lot of new products. (Please don't let the 787 be an Edsel.)
This is SCARY, it reminds me on Microsoft policy: "let's first sell products and then we'll fix the problems"
So that was the problem. Funny how people quickly blamed the plane without the investigation being complete. The media is generally inaccurate when it comes to technical things like aviation.
It was a ground restart battery system. Sounds like something on the ground was hooked up incorrectly to blow the battery. Also 2 incidents at Logan in 1 week, ????
Well as far as 2 incidents at Boston. If it's ANA, that's where they'll be, as far as East Coast goes, with regular service in/out of there
