OK, let's say the 787 has no structural problems with a burning accumulator. But that would probably still lead to higher loads on the other one. And what happens to the bird if both of them burn ? I guess it would still stay structurally intact, but if so many systems need electric power how much time remains for the crew to put the thing on terra firma before the emergency bats run out ? What if that happens over the big drink and this aircraft happens to be the first two-engine frame certified for the ocean if I recall properly ? OK, I guess I'm being a bit melodramatic, but some competent answers would be nice
