Japan Airlines says smoke seen coming from Boeing 787 battery
Japan Airlines said it temporarily grounded one of its 787 Dreamliners on Tuesday after white smoke was spotted outside the plane, warning lights in the cockpit indicated possible faults with the main battery and charger, and one battery cell appeared to be leaking.

Boeing is a 787 is a joke
Sorry, I'm a little slow on the uptake today. Could you please repeat the punch-line?
The future will have lots of 787s flying as well as many other planes, that will have technologies that either debuted or whose function was greatly expanded in the 787, also flying, from Boeing, from Airbus (note the A350) and from other manufacturers that are already moving up the food chain and/or are making plans now to be in the commercial passenger aircraft market.
Swap out the battery and battery charger. Send the replaced items to Boeing for testing and investigation, and get the plane back to flying.

Another battery incident troubles Boeing's 787 Dreamliner
Nearly nine months after it returned to the sky and its battery system was declared safe, new reports surfaced Tuesday of smoke aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Tokyo's Narita International Airport.
The incident "appears to have involved the venting of a single battery cell," aboard a Japan Airlines 787, Boeing told CNN in a statement. A year ago, overheated batteries aboard two Dreamliners prompted aviation officials to ground all 50 of the planes worldwide.
