Previous thread discussed the 787's problems including the Ethiopian example which had an on board fire while parked at Heathrow.

The AAIB have today published a Special Report detailing their findings to date.

Not absorbed all detail but it seems lithium batteries suffered a thermal runaway. Probable cause is wires being pinched/frayed and subsequent short circuit.
