Two aircon systems down?

This article was published by Kyodo News on 5 June, but I cannot yet find an English language page. My quick translation, for which apologies.

国土交通省は5日未明、米サンノゼを離陸し成田空港に向かっていた全日空171便ボーイング787が1日午後2時ごろ、二つある 空調系統が相次いで不具合となり、緊急事態宣言を出し、高度約1万3千メートルから約3千メートルまで降下していたと発表した。 その後、宣言を取り消し、約1時間後に成田空港に着陸、乗客乗員163人にけがはなかった。
国交省は事故につながりかねない重大インシデントに認定。運輸安全委員会が5日、航空事故調査官4人を成田空港に派 遣する。
Essentially what it is describing is a failure of two air conditioning systems aboard ANA 171 from San Jose to Narita, Boeing 787. (Around 2 pm on 1 June.) For this reason the aircraft declared an emergency and dropped from 13,000 meters to 3,000 meters and, canceling the alert continued to Narita, landing one hour later. No-one of the 163 pax was hurt but a team has been formed to investigate. Being called a ‘serious incident’.

PS Now being reported on the main TV news channels in Japan.
