Aircraft Engine Failure over Denver.
Some amazing pictures coming out of A Boeing 777 engine cowl on someone’s front lawn after a United Airlines Boeing 777 suffered engine failure on a flight to Honolulu.
Also some pics of the plane in flight with a clearly badly damaged engine. Thankfully looks like no injuries. |

Just caught it on a TV news channel. Not sure why the engine was still there as they are designed to shear and clearly that jet would have been better off without it after such a failure. Sadly, some crews on a flight deck don,t cope too well with an engine down or out and the recent loss of a 737 in Indonesia looks likely to be a case in point. But well done to the crew in this case of a 777 for getting it safely down.

Yes, thankfully no one’s hurt. Would that have been a Rolls Royce or GE unit?

Boeing, boing, boing! The more I read about their manufacturing methods the more I worry! It seems that when they were doing the "pickle fork" inspections the investigating technicians have found a number of bits of "manufacturing debris" in the voids! Anything rolling around next to wiring or hydraulic systems is a worry!

If the shear pins are for location only then surely by definition they serve no other purpose ... assuming that you are correct. It might be if it were relevant to this thread. But, is it? |
