The graphic shows all of Boeing's 50 flagship 787 Dreamliners grounded resulting in shares in Boeing have fallen by 6.3 per cent over the last two days.
An estimated $2.7 billion has been wiped off the company's stock market value. Some airlines ( Qatar ) are already demanding some of their money back.

Grounding aircraft on this scale over safety concerns is rare. The last time this happened was in 1979, when DC-10s were grounded following a fatal crash.

The big problem for Boeing is restoring public confidence in the Dreamliner.
