I'm calling it now, those folding wingtips on the 777x are going to be an unmitigated disaster.
I'm actually amazed the 787 hasn't had similar issues given how shoddily built it is.
Whenever I think of the 787 I will forever think about the single survivor of the Air India crash. Imagine just unbuckling your seatbelt and basically walking out of a biblically accurate flaming hell unscathed and finding out you were like 1 out of 300 to survive.
