Emergency landing sees Boeing 787 fleet grounded in Japan

Japan's major airlines grounded their Boeing 787 planes for safety checks today, hours after one was forced to make an emergency landing, in the latest blow for the new jet.

All Nippon Airways said a cockpit message showed battery problems and a burning smell was detected in the cockpit and the cabin, forcing the 787 on a domestic flight to land at Takamatsu airport in western Japan.
