Maybe quality control of Chinese jet fuel is on par with all their other exports.....
 
It looks like it should be back in service in a few days.
 
Interesting Find....

Concerning the Boeing 777 that crashed short of the runway in London
a few weeks ago.

Well, the British aircraft accident investigation board has finally
come around to the conclusion that I made several weeks ago: The
event was RF( Radio Frequency )-induced.

Prime Minister Dr. Gordon Brown's motorcade was passing under the
approach path of BA038. His security system utilized an RF
transmitter to block out any cell-phone triggered
devices. Apparently this system has a two mile range, and it caused
the Boeing 777 EEC's (electronic engine controls) to sense a
"overboost" situation, thereby commanding a reduced-thrust situation
for the engines, simultaneously.

We'll see how Boeing and the BAA handle this one. This could be
potentially bad, in view of the simplicity of technology that the bad
guys could use to bring down an airliner.
