Hundreds of Boeing 777s could be faulty: investigators

Air accident investigators in the US say there is a "high probability" that a fault, which apparently caused a British Airways airliner to crash land at London Heathrow airport a year ago, could affect about 200 other Boeing 777s.
It is thought the accident could have been caused by a build-up of ice in the fuel delivery system which leaves the plane without enough power.
A second incident 10 months later is believed to have been caused by a similar problem in a Delta Airlines plane.
American air accident investigators say there is a high probability it could happen again and have called for a component in the engine of the 777s to be redesigned.
The makers, Rolls Royce, say a new part is being made and will be available as soon as possible.
