This nor the other article specified engine make but I think it was GE. Don't matter. Yes, Boeing has ultimate responsibility, BUT, this did happen inflight and during testing. If we could get all enginge failures on the ground, it would be a wonderful thing, and save many LOST ENGINE training hours. Really, it would have been a non-event if it hadn't happened on a 787!

Dont know how this is a setback as its just a problem that happened its a stuff happens thing and thats it. Its nothing to set back the airplane like gizmodo.com said but think the web site name says it all.

What an idiotic headline.....
The plane never left the ground, yet "rained" fiery debris....woooooo.

Sorry, I won't read further than that. Besides I already read the whole real report in the Post and Courier.

Right on, Brian. My pet hate at the moment is crappy journalism, and this headline is a perfect example.
