Bill further proves his ignorance and lack of reading comprehension.

No where in that AP report does it say there were three fires. All it
says is that there were three incidents where the windshield heat wiring
shorted out and resulted in a cracked windshield.

Looking at the FAA SDR database shows six incidents since 1997 where
there was a windshield crack.

In contrast, looking at the same database shows 13 incidents where the
windshield cracked on Boeing 767's (earliest data is from 1993).

Now considering the 777's safety record...going to the NTSB database
shows only four out of the sixteen listed incidents/accidents as being
aircraft related. The majority of the incidents are turbulence related.

Now when it comes to composite aircraft construction, you don't know
****. Did you know that there are two corporate aircraft currently in
production that have carbon fiber fuselages? Bet you didn't know that.
