This whole video explains a lot about the 787.

TL;DW, safety is being sacrificed to meet deadlines, and the quality of the 787 is not as high as it should be.
The fact that
engineers say they wouldn't fly that plane should raise a red flag.

In which AA was to blame due to a faulty maintenance procedure, if you haven't seen the documentary. The engine took a chunk of the wing off and other..important things, so it became uncontrollable. Similar to the Concorde disaster.
