Passenger Snaps Photo of Fuel Pouring Out of a Dreamliner's Wing
If Boeing was looking to 2014 as a fresh start for their constantly malfunctioning Dreamliner, that particular dream is almost certainly crushed by now. In addition to one of the plane's batteries malfunctioning (again) just a few days ago, a Norweigan's Airlines flight was cancelled yesterday after a passenger noticed that fuel was pouring from a valve on the plane's wing.

No reaction or quote from an experienced pilot. It takes one phone call to a Pilot training school or any number of airline pilots in the country. Lazy fact checking and reporting is about par these days.
Very typical specialty trained so-called journalists from the far left of the political arena. Unfortunately, there isn't a law against stupid.
And joe, regarding this part of your statement: "they fail to educate themselves on what their writing"., it would be: they're, meaning they are.
Glass houses suck.

The solution seems simple to me: relocate the vent to a place where the pax can't see it. ;-}

The entirety of the wing structure is visible by passengers from multiple angles. It helps to have the valves and release points close to the fuel tanks as possible, which unfortunately means making overflow fuel releases (at least from wing tanks) visible to passengers.

Why it is, that with the thousands of flights that take off daily, and probably vent fuel every now and then as those vents are designed to do, and all the hoopla that gets posted on here daily, that this is the only post about fuel venting I have ever seen on here, and it is on a 787, by a writer that knows not what she is talking about and a pax with even less of an idea of what they are shooting and we have 50 comments here basically saying it is a non event. That about got it all?
Yup! That's about got it all.
