Japan Airlines said that a fire broke out in one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners, shortly after it landed in Boston, following a flight from Tokyo. Officials said the fire started after a battery in the jet's auxiliary power system overheated. The Airline said that no one was injured as all the passengers and crew members had already disembarked. This is the latest setback for the Dreamliner, after production delays and several technical problems. The Dreamliner is one of the most advanced planes ever built. However, a spate of technical issues has hurt its image.
