Just heard that the FAA has passed a Safety Directive grounding all 787's airborne worldwide with unmediated effect.
Apparently the fuel lines feeding fuel into the engines have developed a leak in a number of the airplanes flying commercially.
(My bold)

Well, if the literacy of this report is any guide to its contents it clearly won't contain much.

I'm curious how only those flying commercially leak? Is the fuel system somehow aware of the revenue status of the flight?

Oh dear oh dear.
