This Week In Airline Failures: Boeing Dreamliner Catches Fire At Heathrow Airport [VIDEO]
15 Jul 2013 by Jasmine Stone in Terror, Video
A 787 Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Dreamliner parked in a remote location at Heathrow Airport caused both runways to close after it caught fire.
According to Sky News, there were no passengers on the plane at the time and therefore no injuries occurred. A spokesperson for the airport said that the aircraft suffered from an internal fire before emergency personal took care of the scene.
All arrivals and departures were suspended due to the ordeal which happened around 16h30 on Friday.
Ethiopian Airlines became the first airline to resume using the 787 after concerns about the batteries on board the aircraft could cause fires.
A spokesman for Boeing said after the incident:
We’re aware of the event. We have Boeing personnel on the ground at Heathrow and are working to fully understand and address this.
