Electrical nightmare at Boeing's Dreams
Boeing halts delivery of Dreamliners
All Nippon Airways 787 forced to make an emergency landing at Takamatsu in southwest Japan on Wednesday because of a smoke alert apparently linked to a lithium-ion battery, the plane’s main electrical power unit.
‘‘We removed the battery yesterday and are today inspecting the plane and its components, alongside the US officials,’’ said Japan Transport Safety Board spokesman Mamoru Takahashi.
A picture released by the JTSB showed scorch marks on the blue casing of the battery. Much of what looked like wiring around the eight cells of the battery - the plane’s main electrical power unit - was disfigured.
