lomapaseo,

Well now, there are a three points to be made and cited. First, all epoxies were banned for aircraft interiors back in the 70's due to passengers being killed by FST. Do you think that edict by the regulatory authorities was unwarranted or without facts?
Secondly, at the LHR Ethiopian incident the fire department reported dense smoke when they entered the aircraft wearing, I would bet, full portable oxygen masks and gear plus full Hazmat. If passengers had been on board would they still be alive?
Finally, why is it taking Boeing and its insurers so long to even decide whether to repair or scrap since July if no safety of flight issue? We are coming up on two months with no actions
You asked for some facts and there they are, I would hope they satisfy you or, at least, give you pause.
