Watching footage on Euronews showing an Ethiopian A/L 787 ??-ADP "Queen of Sheba" caught fire.

 

The report said it was at London-Heathrow, and all runways had been closed. I couldn't see any damage anywhere on the A/C. All the doors were open, and foam was all over the place. The report indicated that there were no injuries. This occurring right now.

 

Unfortunately, this will be another black eye for Boeing. Cry

Out of the sandbox, finally!

Thankfully the problem was found to not be related to previous issues, but it WAS determined to be batteries again.  This time it was lithium-ion batteries in the ELT devices.  Be interesting to see how this pans out.
