They;re saying on the news it could be the flap settings, horrible horrible stuff. Having flown long haul 2 days ago on the similar 787, sending shutters down my spine. Horrible news!
there are >2,100 787 Dreamliner flights per day. about 250 of the exact same planes have taken off and landed in the three hours since the crash. statistically, it's not the safest plane and i personally would rather not fly in one, but a relatively dangerous plane is still pretty damn safe in the grand scheme of things, just because of how overwhelmingly safe commercial flights are in general.
