Live Flight Tracking

pull their ticket for 60 days

You know what happens when you ASSUME. Lol

Wow ! What a statement . And the following comments by concerned readers. Wonderful . every word , be of NTSB Chairman or of my peer readers , all confirm my approach and attitude that must be adopted as a future course of action . Remember when man flew by a balloon for the first time . First it was Hydrogen , being lightest gas . This caused fire accidents . Then Helium , an inert gas lighter than air . And later , to present , hot air balloons ! Assumptions kept changing in flying by balloons for obvious reasons . Failures or less than required out put results make us to investigate or revisit design parameters including performance related assumptions about systems or sub system .
" To scale " prototypes pose interesting problem . Error in performance is highly magnified in the full scale model . Any engineer worth his salt knows that . It can be 'square' of the quantity , or 'cube' or/and cumulative effect of all these " squares and cubes " ! All persons involved in the design and manufacture of any thing and every thing from proverbial ' needle to ship ' must take lessons from these incidents .

Did you ever see a lithium battery in a laptop burn up? It burns at a white hot temperature and pretty much out of control. Even a Nicad battery will go balistic once it reaches a critical temperature. A battery overtemp in my commercial aircraft was an emergency item. If it could not be controlled--land as soon as possible.

Sounds like they are telling the FAA and Boeing to roll their...own dice.
Not that of the people.
Wow....

Thank God.

At last a coherent answer.

If you're reading this Ms Hersman

I would invest in a few electron microscopes or contract MIT to solve the search.

The foreign object on the alu plates are the seeds around which the electrons will
build nodes.

The plates need to be made is a sterile environment as common in high end circuit m
akers of this application.

The costs will be high to monitor the plates at the nano scale. Has to be done.

Ha. That was my thought as well - I wonder how the federal gubmint would account for that

FINE THEM!!!!!! hahahahahahaha

NTSB Update: NTSB Determines Origin of 787 Battery Fire, Faults FAA for Improper Test Results

The National Transportation Safety Board announced on Thursday that the fire in a parked Japan Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner on January 7 started in one cell, which showed multiple signs of short-circuiting. This led to a thermal runaway condition that caused the fire then spread to other cells.
