@Avionista: It took 40 min to distinguish the Boston fire - this was not an easy task.

In my upper linked article of the Seattle Times Boeing rumours to be indignant about FAA´s acting. For Boeing the 787 ist still safe to fly. I can´t belive this careless behaviour. To have a malfunction in a product is one side, to ignore the risks another. Think this is no good PR for the reputation of Boeing.

On the other side the FAA seems faced a difficult situation. Once there will increase the pressure of commercial interests. But easing the situation and relase the 787 back to service before a real solution is on the table, will push the upcoming discussions they´ve been to rigorous with the grounding.

For me they did the only right thing: In aviation "safety first".
