Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, now. So they catch on fire. For two separate reasons. So what? No big deal! Just teething problems, we've been told to say.

The same ELT with the same battery are used in many other aircraft, why are they just removing it from the 787. If the unit is unsafe in the 787 it is unsafe for all aircraft.
