The National Transportation Safety Board is looking into the fire. In an investigative update issued today, it said that the fire severely damaged the auxiliary power unit battery and caused “thermal damage to the surrounding structure and components.” One firefighter was injured, the agency said.
The Wall Street Journal, citing an unidentified source, reported today that United Airlines found an improperly installed bundle of wires in one of its 787s during an inspection following the Logan fire. The wires connected to the battery used to start the auxiliary power unit.
A United spokeswoman confirmed that the airline inspected all six of its 787s overnight after the Logan incident, but she would not comment on the results. None of the planes are out of service.
