FAA pulls the 787 AWC

The FAA this afternoon 1/16/13 temporarily suspended the Air Worthiness Certificate for the 787 until they get a handle on the battery issues.
Maybe it's time for the airplane guys to take over from the bean massagers in Chicago-too much outsourcing.

Isn't that somewhat unprecedented?

Excuse me, but is that your laptop smoldering in the corner?

The last time was in 1979 AFTER a series of awful DC-10 fatal accidents topped off with AMERICAN 191 @ ORD.

Or your cell phone bursting into flames in your pocket? Lithium-Ion batteries are dangerous.
