Obligatory, that’s not very typical; I’d like to make that point.

Well, there are a lot of these jets going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that airliners aren’t safe.

It was probably made with sellotape. And card board.

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):
