More problems with B787

Troubles never seem to end for the Dreamliner.

Right now a Norwegian B787 is stranded in NY (JFK) because of fuel system related faults. It's not the first time this has happened. Right before Christmas a few hundred Scandinavians were stranded in Florida because of a faulty Norwegian Dreamliner.

From Swedish newspaper:

Hundratals fast i USA efter fel i Norwegianplan - DN.SE

De 276 passagerarna skulle ha flugit från New York i USA, med destination Oslo, klockan 21.30 (lokal tid). Men vid starten upptäcktes ett tekniskt fel relaterat till bränslet på planet som är av typen Boeing 787 Dreamliner, uppger Daniel Kirchhoff. Därför kunde det inte lyfta.
English translation:

The 276 passengers should have flown from New York, USA destined for Oslo at 21:30 local time. But during start up procedures they discovered a technical malfunction related to the fuel, on the plane of type Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Daniel Kirchoff says. That's why the plane could not depart.

I wonder why passengers have so little understanding for airtravel delays. It really grinds my gears. I'd rather be a litte late to wherever I'm going than a little early to.. death.


EDIT: Thanks to mods who found the correct thread to put this in!
