German news Die Welt refers to British official investigation reports, quoting that the Brits make again issues with the Lithium batteries linked to the emergency transponder responsible for the fire. Report says that fires in that part of the plane cannot be extinguished in mid flight since the extinguishers cannot reach there, and thus this fire could have led to disaster if it had happened in midair, over the Atlantic - less than one third of incidents with such fires ended with anything less than total loss of the plane, says an earlier British report on such flight accidents which gets also referred to.

The batteries again. Quelle surprise.

Are jobs and profits still more important than lives, or when will they ground these damn planes, finally? The neon-red, bold-printed, capital lettered writing on the wall does not become any clearer. The electrical system is bull. Just this: bull. You pushed that dependency too far, Boeing, and with too inapt energy carriers.
