A fire on a plane is a very big deal, and the FAA recognizes that.
Agreed. This isn't a fire where someone just goes back with a extinguisher and puts it out. It doesn't work that way, people.

I actually enjoyed my first 787 trip last year, and I was seriously thinking about booking more this year....until this came out. Now, I am wary.

Honestly, I don't want to get on one of these things just to be flame-broiled like a Whopper. I can't think of much more pleasant ways to die......
