Well one quote from the article, "Though the FAA eventually ordered Boeing to stop shipping planes whose wiring compartments were full of loose, razor-sharp metal shards, the company had already shipped 800 planes by that point and has not recalled any of them, so every Dreamliner in the sky today has this problem. Some of these shards have already caused fires in 787s." isn't actually true as near as I can tell by a search through the FAA Accident and Incident database....and such an event would definitely make it into that database. The 787 had battery fires due to what was determined to be internal shorts in their lithium ion batteries which is presumably what the author was vaguely remembering, but that had nothing to do with alleged loose metal shards outside the batteries. One has to wonder at the accuracy of anything in the article given that the author is either too lazy to search the FAA Accidents and Incidents database or more likely doesn't even know it exists.
