I see that there's an inaccurate statement about the "787 Max", but the grounding of the 787-10 today did happen: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore

- exabrial 8y ago> the 787-10 Not exactly. "The 787-10" as a whole is just fine. Singapore airlines found a maintenance issue during routine inspection on two of its aircraft. Blade turbines are wear parts and are replaced as needed. The 787 can take two types of engines, one of them tends to wear out blades faster than expected. The article is sensationalism.
- netsharc 8y agoSensationalism how? The article reports what happened in real life (except for the "787 MAX" error): 2 (maybe more?) 787-10s were checked, they deemed the fan blades too cracked, the 2 planes are now grounded.
