Are Dreamliners safe? Third Boeing Dreamliner problem reported in Japan

Boeing's 787 Dreamliner continued to have problems on Wednesday when an All Nippon Airways flight in Japan was canceled over a problem with the plane's braking system.

ANA 698, a domestic flight headed to Tokyo's Haneda airport, was cancelled because brake parts from the rear left undercarriage needed to be replaced, Agence France Presse is reporting.

"In the cockpit, an error message related to its brake system was displayed," an ANA spokeswoman told the AFP.
