RIPPLE EFFECT

Boeing said 128 of it 777 planes with Pratt & Whitney engines will stop flying after the fire. The FAA has ordered extra inspections of some passenger jets after the incident. The US National Transportation and Safety Board also said it is investigating the incident, while United Airlines, Asiana, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways grounded their planes earlier. Japan's transport ministry had earlier said it had ordered stricter inspections of the engine after a Japan Airlines 777 plane flying from Haneda to Naha experienced trouble with “an engine in the same family” in December. Asiana Airlines, South Korea's second-largest carrier, had also said it would not fly any of its seven currently operational 777s.
