$BA is down, nearly 4.5%, it's not a bad time to buy.

Here is another link, but sounds like the same information.

Looks like a larger hit today than when they grounded the 787.

Now we know why they don't make Tupperware Smokers.

Ouch. That looks like an expensive repair.

.... and how would you perform it?

I'd guess some sort of temporary patch and unpressurized ferry flight to the US. At the least the interior and many of the electronics will have to be gutted and replaced. Avionics will require at least bench overhaul to clean and verify their normal operation after exposure to so much soot.

Another 787 fire?
 

No problem...

Buy Boeing shares...

Repair of this new material is going to be interesting to say the least.

This will not be repairable unless the aft fuselage can be demated from the center. If they are joined mechanically (fasteners) then it should be possibly to join a new aft but it's bonded and bolted forget it, throw-away.

I'm sure they can disconnect the barrels at some point, but this is going to be catastrophically expensive...even more so since it will have to be done on-site.

Might be more cost-effective to scrap, although I suspect BA will repair it anyway rather than part it out and generate even more negative press.

Maybe a 50-gal drum of bondo and a ferry permit back to Seattle?
