IMO, we will find that the plane will be seriously overload with Li Batteries.

Not illegal if the new safety guide lines were followed. But packed wrong they can generate enough heat to burn holes in the frame and puff no longer pressurized.

They were up in the air for hours after they diverted from scheduled path. No call. No nothing.
