Well, this is a new one..
the manufacturer of the beacon, Honeywell, has been brought into the mix on the Ethiopian 787 fire.

"A key supplier on Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner passenger jet has confirmed it has joined the ongoing investigation into a fire that broke out last week on an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft parked at London’s Heathrow Airport.

Honeywell International Inc. makes the plane’s emergency locator transmitter, which is a device installed on all commercial airplanes. Known as an ELT, it transmits signals in an emergency. So if a plane is involved in a crash, the transmitter will alert search parties to its location."


Wouldnt that be poetic?
