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. David Bell Editor
