I'm waiting to see the Chinese knock offs fall out of the sky.
Dave i could not give a flying f--k regarding your best engineers theory, however, i know of a company who can fix things real good!
Try jpm engineered futures cds off shore assorted funds portfolio.
they should replace those batteries with derivatives
Why not? Both are guaranteed to go down in flames.
Or shares in M&M corporation:

being from las vegas you must remember the days when they sold flight insurance in vending machines in the airport.
NICE
Are you Oprah without the sense of humor?
what is oprah?
That's a good answer
maybe,but, what is sense or sense of humor more befitting.
I love how the navigation system uses the same internet as the in-cabin passenger internet. There's a firewall seperating them. That's genius. What could possibly go wrong?
The dodo did fine until humans showed up.
I think there's a theme there!
This Dodo is now on display
They're no longer with us they say
So poorly designed
The last of its kind
The Dreamliner's headed that way
The Limerick King
Or,
Composites are headed our way
Titanium has seen its best day
All hail the new Boeing,
and the direction it's going
It's an airplane we'll all fly someday

You forgot the "Chaff" Billy-7. Aliens love Bernanke "fiat Chaff"... ( Great Job Banzai-7)
One of the original actors ( Johnny DeSantis ), lived in my neighborhood until the 2004 hurricanes flooded him out. He moved to Missouri shortly thereafter.
Just giving credits to the first.
what's "dreamy" about taking a modern day airplane trip-unless you like taking shit off of a worthless, otherwise non-employable 300lb colored woman that works for the TSA- even the stews are 50 year old ugly hags that act like they're doing you a favor when they get you some water.
So, "taking shit off of a worthless, otherwise non-employable 300lb white man that works for the TSA" is somehow better?
Call me old fashioned but if anyone's gonna 'pat down' my junk i want it to be a woman not a bloke.
Amen to that. It is much better in Latin America though, the screeners are friendlier, you still get free drinks, and the attendants are babes. The airport scenery is better also.
Amen brother! +100
Otto, I think I hear someone calling you. Yes, there it is again; it's the 1950's.
otto - Agreed, except for Singapore Air. Those stews make it all worthwhile.
"Drink" before you get on the plane.
O.K., so I take it this means there will NOT be a new vibrator named "The Dreamliner" or "The 787"?
Rabbit, rabbit, who's got the rabbit?
The new "Flaming Dreamliner" vibrator (with Li ion batteries) is guaranteed to burst into flames at just the "right" moment. This is an experience one will never, ever forget.
You guessed where I'm going with this next...
*belly laugh*
dont give me a 787 they smoke and they roll and dig a big hole[in your portfolio] dont give me 787 taken from a ww2 pilots thoughts on the p39
don't worry WB they will fix this, just like they fixed the exploding 747 fuel tanks... lol

lmao @ Squid Vicious
i knew a pilot who told me shortly after the flight off long island went down, exactly what went wrong. now if the pilots know what's wrong with the airplanes, shouldn't we all?
Was it launched from the ground, sea or air?
he explained exactly to me the problem with the baffles in the fuel tanks, and how a spark could ignite the whole thing, and he said this just days after the crash, before there was any official explanation given. why is the problem well know to the operators somehow a complete mystery which takes months or years to resolve. well for one if they came out right away and said, oh yeah, it must have been those darn fuel tank baffles they would be open for huge lawsuits. the lagging time makes everyone suspect foul play, while the corp is just covering their butts.
Sorry, wrong. Flight engineer on TWA 300 had actively pumped down their center fuel tank well before NY approach, as opposed to the usual passive draining. The residual fuel left would have been far too little to cause an ordnance-level explosion. The hole in the fuselage appeared blown inward such as would be expected from external impact such as a missile, not shredded outward as would occur with an intra-fuselage explosion.
they rushed the design to market for the "WE'RE GREEN" PR imo and it literally blew up in their faces
my gut says its also part of further destroying our aero production sector - again, the west must be destroyed, we are too rich and too uppity, the chinese dont complain and form unions XD
any government willing to grind its population to dust can supple at the teet of NWO
William, my military people told me it was a Navy Reserve unit on a 2 week tour that knocked it down,
So my guess it was sea from info obtained. For some reason Marines like to rat out Navy screwups.
marines don't know of any Navy screwups
Pipe-Dream Liner.
MSM coverage over the last few days: "No problem, it's a great plane, I would have no problem flying it, new technology, teething troubles etc. etc. etc."
Fine, but the battery problem is a serious issue. What would happen if there were a fire mid-Atlantic or Mid-Pacific? Rather you than me thanks. And I'm sure the MSM would be nowhere to be found in the event of a tragedy.
Why is there NO source of impartial information any longer? I, for one, have scheduled several Trans-Pacific flights over the coming months to avoid the 787. It's your call, of course...
All spin no facts. I won't fly one until they are shaken thoroughly.
Like all good travel planes, the dreamliner just needs a few crashes with a few thousand people killed to be properly debugged.
And that's why I think it's good to keep the flights going in the middle east and in China.
some how gun crime caused this problem, we need studies [expensive studies] on how to control guns to stop this safty problem on our planes..who shot the battery
Yes, we need doctors & psychologists to examine these "defective batteries".
Then compromise the once respected doctor-patient confidentiality/privacy between the two...and then report back to government which one of these batteries is most likely to "blow up".
If they don't, government prosecuters will unleash armed SWAT teams into their private waiting rooms and offices to rifle through their patient records for themselves.
Something must be done!
I even heard Joe Biden has a sloar powered truss...
Spin, spin, spin. But these are peoples lives we are dealing with.
Just more delights of the fascist state of mind. I pity the poor sheeple.
Just give the thing an escort of F-35s. It'll be fine.
Shaken, not stirred?
