A Ethiopian Airlines 787 caught fire today at Heathrow. This is after the battery issues which included a Japan Airlines 787 catching fire at Boston. Plus a Thomson Airways 787 diverted after take off due to a tech issue. I doubt the two issues today are even closely related but after two fires and the whole battery issue the media/public is trashing the 787.
It is too early to tell if the fire today is related to the battery issues or something totally different. While the 787 has had it's issues, the fear-mongering is unwarranted at this point. At least in my opinion.
