Please don't let it be a battery problem........
This frame was the first one back into service post-battery retrofit, according to the article.

Yikes..... :shock:

I'm like you, it's not hard to make that mental jump immediately to a battery issue, I thought that even as the headline popped up. Also like you, I believe Boeing must be wondering "what next?"

Hopefully it's not a battery or even airframe issue, that would go a long way to proving that this new technology isn't as scary as some would like everyone to believe.
