Wow this is scary. Two 747-400Fs lost to fires on the main deck and they both were carrying lithium batteries. How many more people need to die before the industry and governments get serious on this?

lithium batteries
Lithium batteries among cargo on crashed Asiana 747-400F
I found this about their cargo. If it's not safe enough for a passenger plane it shouldn't be safe in a cargo plane in even bigger quantities? Pilots and crew members lives are just as important as passengers or people on the ground.

The plane carried 58 tonnes of cargo, including 0.4 tonnes of potentially risky materials such as lithium batteries, paint, amino acid solution and synthetic resin,
