It seems that the new Boeing Dreamliner is never out
of the news, first with production delays, then fire
problems with batteries and now a wiring inspection
called for after a fire onboard a 787 at a London, UK,
airport.
The wiring inspection is on the emergency transmitters
on all 787 Dreamliners. You can read the full story on
page 9.
Applehas alsobeen in thenews recentlywith thedeath
of a Chinese woman who was allegedly electrocuted
after answering her iPhone while it was charging. The
American company is cooperating with authorities
following the death. See page 10.
We also take this opportunity to look ahead to
wire South America in Brazil in October. Running in
conjunction with the TUBOTECH exhibition in São Paulo,
this will be the first running of wire South America after
Messe Düsseldorf became involved with the event.
This section starts on page 36 but don’t miss out on
our September issue which will feature some of the
companies exhibiting at the show.
