Debris From Boeing 787 Engine Sparks Fire in SC Jul 29th 2012, 16:15 Federal officials are trying to determine why debris fell from the engine of a new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, starting a fire and forcing officials to shut down a South Carolina airport. The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/NBRR0V) that debris from the aircraft fell onto the runway at Charleston International Airport and into the grass Saturday, sparking a blaze that closed the airport for more than an hour. Boeing spokeswoman Candy Eslinger says the aircraft was undergoing preflight runway testing in North Charleston when the incident occurred. Eslinger says the 787 was the latest one built at the Boeing campus in North Charleston. No one was injured in the incident, and Eslinger says production will not be affected. The airport was closed for more than an hour. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. ——— Information from: The Post and Courier, http://www.postandcourier.com
