787 Leaks Fuel Before Takeoff in Boston

Smoke coming from the 787 on Monday
For the second time in two days emergency crews had to be called out at Boston's Logan International Airport.

Both times it was a Japan Airlines 787 that had the emergency.

As a plane was taxiing for takeoff, Tuesday afternoon, crews noticed it was leaking fuel.

All one hundred and seventy-eight passengers and crew were evacuated from the plane.

Once the leak was contained and stopped, the plane was brought back to the terminal, for repairs.

Airline officials said that they hoped to repair the plane in time for the flight, to Tokyo, to only be delayed, not cancelled.

On Monday, a Japan Airlines 787 had a small fire, after it landed from Tokyo.
