Let's not forget the exploding batteries which were fixed by putting a metal container around them and a hole in the hull, so when they inevitably explode again, they'll at least vent outside.

It'd be okay with that shit on a bus. Not on a plane in the middle over the Pacific. How the 787 got it's ETOPS rating is beyond me.

(actually it isn't. We have all witnessed how corrupt the FAA is by outsourcing it's own job to Boeing itself - the equivalent of a professor outsourcing paper grading to students themselves).

And this software bug that requires the plane to be turned off and on again every 248 days to prevent an integer overflow and loss of power.
