Qatar Airways has taken a Boeing 787 Dreamliner out of service after it experience a “minor” technical issue. But is the issue really as insignificant as we are being led to believe?

Neither the airline in question nor Boeing is discussing it, but industry sources quoted by Reuters say “smoke had been reported near an electrical compartment while the jet was on the ground in Doha.”

Wow …

As a result of the incident, the plane in question has been grounded since Sunday. Meanwhile two other airlines are experiencing additional Dreamliner issues.

“India’s aviation regulator said earlier it had started an investigation after an oven in a 787 operated by Air India overheated during a domestic flight, causing smoke,” reports Zero Hedge. “Japan’s ANA, which operates the world’s biggest fleet of Dreamliners, also said on Friday it had found damage to the battery wiring on two 787 locator beacons.”

All of this less than two weeks after an Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner caught fire on the ground at London’s Heathrow Airport. That plane, ironically, was the first 787 to fly commercially following an international grounding of the aircraft due to conflagration issues associated with its lithium ion batteries. Boeing never identified the problem with its next generation passenger plane, but Dreamliners were nonetheless cleared for takeoff in April.

Originally scheduled for delivery in May of 2008, numerous design, supply and delivery problems pushed Dreamliner’s deadline back more than three years – causing numerous cancellations. Things haven’t gone much smoother since the plane took flight.

Boeing makes 787s in Everett, Washington and North Charleston, S.C. In fact South Carolina taxpayers have shelled out more than $1 billion in taxpayer subsidized incentives to “land” Boeing’s business. S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is the company’s biggest cheerleader, referring to 787s as “Mack Daddy Planes” during a speech to the Republican National Convention last year.

Gee will Boeing beat the illustrious Mack Trucks for the shortest time mfg. in South Carolina.
Lil’ Nikki may be sued along with Boeing in lawsuits I guess.

At least as a part of a Civil Conspiracy cause of action .

Since the major parts and the total design are approved by the FAA, are they part of your “civil conspiracy”?

Per the P&C, Honeywell is involved with non battery problems.

Good ole Sic Willie. “Conflagration” means a great and destructive fire that threatens life and/or property. Is that what occurred or is it just more of Sic Willie hyperbole? I know “unfair, imbalanced”.

Maybe the plane flies better on fire?

Actually, you may be on to something. Perhaps the military could turn them into “drone bombers” — one way trips, though.

What if the 787 problems were all due to sabotage by union members to teach Boeing a lesson? How’s that for a conspiracy?

Seriously though this has far reaching issues than just Boeing’s problems. What if other countries stop buying American products due to shoddy American workmanship based on the 787’s issues? Think about it. Would you buy a Boeing plane right now? How long would it take for all American made products to be lumped in with Boeing made products?

Lets see. Train crash in Spain killed scores. Well No more Spanish products for me. Japan had that huge nuclear plant failure. Strike Jap products off the list. The list goes on and on.

Oh. Wait. Was the train in Spain made in Spain or was it shipped by plane made by a Dane?

When the plane landed on the plain was it in the rain? This is so insane. At least mundane. Oh the pain, the pain.

Gee, don’t you think Boeing and the many multi-national contractors who contribute parts to this plane can trace every piece on every plane back to when and who was working on the line at any given time?
That makes it a pretty stupid conspiracy theory, all right.
