It is about Japanese airline All Nippon Airlines having discovered wrong wiring in the firing extinguishers aboard one of its 787s. In case of an engine fire it would have caused the fire extinguisher emptying into the intact engine, leaving the burning one untackled. After that find, ANA examined all its 787s and found the same mistake in two more planes. ANA rival Japan Airlines rated the findings so serious that they called back midair flights by their own 787s.

Meanwhile it was reported that a 787 by Quatar Airliners was grounded for ten days as well.

World's first burn-by-wire jet, really.
