People ! relax ... everythings gonna be ok in the end , and if it's not - it's not the end yet..... :)
Amen and nicely said
This said an open fuel valve. Is it a plane problem or human problem?
It is the same plane again, it hasn't happened to any other 787, the fuel spilled at the wingtip during de-fueling in preparation for an inspection, with a heightened level of scrutiny and personnel. Occam's Razor suggests it is a malfunction.
I'm beginning to think Japan Airlines isn't following Boeing maintenance procedures or operational procedures completely as these kinds of things weren't widespread or frequent during Boeing's test flight program.
I know it isn't a gas cap like my pickup but could it be the ground crew's error for not "putting the cap back on" so to speak? I'm not a pilot just an enthusiast but I'm wondering if it isn't the people fueling/defueling that are causing the problem?
Does one have to be a pilot to know what is going on? I don't think so!!

I Am A Fueler At Phoenix Sky Harbor Boeing Does Not Use Fuel Caps Any Longer That Is Why There Is A Door On The Fuel Control Panel Area This Leak Is Coming From The APU Area Which Would Be A MX Problem Not A Fueling Problem
