This plane is now on my no fly list until they figure out why this happened. In many respects this is much scarier then the battery problem that grounded the plane. If I were the FAA I would give Boeing 48 to 72 hours to avoid a full fleet grounding. The battery fires were largely contained. This fire occurred at the rear of the plane and would be extremely dangerous if it occurred in flight. The electrical architecture of this plane is extremely complex. While I applaud Boeing's willingness to innovate, all that electricity flowing though the hull is frankly quite frightening.
