The UK’s Daily Mail is reporting that a Qatar Airways 787 had smoke whilst on the ground, in an electric compartment. The story is pretty patchy as neither Boeing nor Qatar are prepared to explain what happened. The report also covers an oven problem on a 787 owned by Air India. This latter problem seems to be less of an issue as the former, appears to be a repeat of the type of problem that the Dreamliner has experienced before.
There is a pretty good picture of the aftermath of the Ethopian problem that closed Heathrow Airport a couple of weeks ago.

Poor design with inadequate circuit breakers ?
That plane is going to be Boeing’s nightmare.
