Discussion of Boeing and their products. Since there is a duopoly with Airbus, chatter about Airbus is also /on topic/. Negative comments are as welcome as positive ones. All ideas that are on topic and presented in a civil manner are welcome.

Poor plane!
Looks like someone put something to eat in its bowl.

... and it's not even the first time that it happened to a 787.
In 2018 & 2022 (landing gear retracted/collapsed due to unintuitive manual procedure steps in order to cycle the power in certain conditions - a badly designed process prone to human error due to it's nature ... and the video might suggest the same issue happened again):
