A FIRE ON AN AIRCRAFT IS NORMAL?!

With all the chatter regarding the Boeing 787 ""Dreamliner"" and its recent problems, I'm getting a kick out of certain comments by some so-called "experts". The common excuse being 'these are quite normal and expected in any new series of aircraft'. Yah, right. Sorry, cracks in the cockpit windscreen and fires in the fuselage, in an APU (auxiliary power unit), are not normal.

Also, the media cannot be held at fault here for reporting these daily occurrences with the model 787. The way things are going, the media will be soon having to report a story about a "Dreamliner" going down with all aboard.

Unlike the De Havilland "Comet", the 787 is not looking to surprise us.
