FAA Grounds Boeing 787s to Address Battery Fires



     WASHINGTON D.C.  -  Federal officials say they are temporarily grounding Boeing's 787 Dreamliners until the risk of possible battery fires is addressed.
     The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it will issue an emergency safety order requiring airlines to temporarily cease operating the 787, Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced plane.
     The agency said it will work with Boeing and U.S. air carriers to develop a plan allowing 787s to "resume operations as quickly and safely as possible." United Airlines is the only U.S. carrier with 787s. It has six.
      Only days ago, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood declared the plane safe.  But after an emergency landing in Japan early Wednesday, two Japanese airlines voluntarily grounded their 787s.
