FAA Grounds Dreamliners Over Battery Failure Risks
Description:U.S. regulators Wednesday ordered airlines to stop flying their Boeing 787s until they can show they’ve fixed a fire risk linked to battery failures aboard the closely watched Dreamliners.
The move by the Federal Aviation Administration follows an emergency landing in Japan that prompted that country’s two major airlines to ground their fleets of 787s, and a similar problem aboard a Dreamliner on the ground in Boston nine days earlier.(2:56)
