Yeah, just don't watch it before you fly off on holiday! The video of the engine post explosion is frightening.
One of the passengers said "A lot of people couldn't see the engine on that side, right, so I was a little more freaked out because I could see it, and I knew that was not right," . . . . good that they had an expert onboard |

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? |

The husband of one of my wife's friends is a ground engineer for one of the budget airlines. They never fly to a holiday even if it means a couple of days in the car to get there.
Apparently he can have several free flights a year but never uses them. I thought he was scared of flying but its not that and reckons if you knew how they were maintained I probably would not fly either. He also reckons we don't here about 90% of incidents. There is a reason most budget airlines don't do long haul and its not because there is no demand he reckons. |

The flight crew were calm but then if everything else is working, for them it may not be much of an incident, for us, it is terrifying.

Item 3 - Personally I would think so but again it is an objective thing for each person. The engine nacelle is supposed to contain a engine exploding. Kev |
