Please cite proof the Ethiopian incident was a "battery fire."
Who said so? Three episodes I mean. Or you are not aware of the grounding of ALL B-787s due to battery fire hazard a few months back?
Of course I am. Please cite references to the Ethiopean incident being caused by the same thing.
Ya think?
