I saw the pictures of the 787 lithium-ion battery fire aftermath ... the entire equipment rack was a charred mess. In other words, a raging fire happened in the hold.
The only initial San Jose Terminal 3 ($1.2+ billion) international airline was JAL, and they had to stop flying for about a year. This was a terrible blow to the airport.

Heck, I even tell IT departments to use a stainless-steel "bathtub" under water-cooled computer systems. Each time I'm called a Cassandra, until it starts leaking, then it's like, "Well of course. Anybody would do it that way."
