Amazing.

Also, the first six 787s are either parked (on display as museum pieces) or about to be scrapped for having “no commercial value.” Part is because they were used for testing and development, but also the early (first seven?) airplanes needed added material (weight) on the wing roots due to failing the static-load test.

As I recall, it was several thousand pounds of reinforcement, and JAL was trying to get Boeing to compensate them for that.
