I wouldn't agree entirely on the whole 'anti Boeing' line of thought,but i can understand your point.
I just think people really do want to makes sure or understand that crew/pax will be safe when flying on these aircraft.I personally would like to think that the Boeing engineers had already thought these problems through with regard to fuselage integrity and the survivability of the aircraft to remain intact and airworthy if a fire took place in flight. Not forgetting the pax/crew being able to survive on the rubber jungle and bottles.
