But, as you rightly say, not really comparable in either cause or effect to the 787 issue.
I read the report on this here.

While not necessarily relevant to the 787, as it was mentioned it may be worth noting that page 20 of the report notes a blocked drain, and page 30 states "... there was no positive evidence in the wreckage of either area of corrosion having been associated with toilet liquid spillage".

Make of that what you will, but at this remove I think the bigger picture around inspections and managing any possible spillage etc more important than than a focus on wee?

FP.
