"Thomas Mosher" wrote in message m... 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. I knew I could expect foul-mouthed Tom to defend Boeing and the airlines. I would think that if windshield wires got hot enough to crack glass that would qualify as a fire, even to the FAA. I'm sure it would have had to be hot enough to melt the insulation on the wires leading to the window. By the way "nowhere" is one word. Bill Mulcahy well lets face it bill, you are a moronic **** head 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.
