Boeing is reporting that they have found a flaw in parts used to make the troubled 787 Dreamliner.  The parts are made in a South Carolina factory.

Boeing insists the flaw will not affect the safe operation of the aircraft, but then says the parts are used to strengthen the carbon fiber structure of the aircraft.  History is wrought with examples of aircraft crashes because of weakened airframes!

All Nippon Airways is the first airline company to get the 787.   They got their jets three years behind schedule!   The reason for the delay was that Boeing kept encountering strength problems in assembling the high tech light weight components (among other things)!
