Excellent report, but will anything be done? It seems to me that there is a lack of protection for the crews flying freighters. Once no fee paying passengers die then the public and the regulators seem to quickly forget. I sincerely hope after this and the AAR 744F to see Li-ion batteries go the same way as chemical oxygen generators i.e. only by land or sea. A passenger 777 almost got brought down in China a couple of years ago by a Li battery fire in the cargo hold too.
