But on the downside; in the event of a disc burst; the cowling, HAS TO CONTAIN THE SHRAPNEL !
If it doesn't; there's a good chance the wing, & fuel tanks can be ruptured.
In this case the engine manufacturer, & not Boeing, has some serious questions to answer.
The 26-year-old 777 was powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines. Investigators will focus on what caused the accident and will look at whether a fan blade failed.

Similar incident yesterday in Netherlands, another Boeing

A Boeing 747-400BCF freighter registered VQ-BWT (MSN 24975) flying for Bermuda-based Longtail Aviation took off from runway 21 at Maastricht Aachen Airport this Saturday afternoon at 16:11 (UTC+1). The aeroplane operating flight LGT5504 to New York JFK experienced heavy damage on an engine shortly after take-off. Engine parts (turbine blades) fell in the nearby village of Meerssen resulting in 2 people slightly injured and damage to cars.
According to a spokesman for the South Limburg Safety Region, an explosion has probably occurred in engine number one of the aircraft. Metal parts such as turbine blades have come down around the Limburg town of Meerssen.
Debris hit an elderly woman, who was slightly injured as a result. A child also burned his fingers on a piece of metal.
In Meerssen several houses and cars got damaged by falling debris.
The thirty-year-old plane immediately diverted on three engines to Liège airport, where it landed safely after making a number of laps over the Ardennes to burn fuel and lose weight.

This is something I'm genuinely concerned about wrt sir travel.

We really should add this to the 737 thread and rename it Official Boeing F**k Up Thread.
At this rate, it'll be longer than the swarm thread on PR.

That's correct. To avoid user error. it's fine in theory but useless mostly in practice because
a) The technicians are likely to have had the same background training and so that lends itself to the same potential deficiencies.
b) Once shortcuts become known in a group (or encouraged/enforced by employers), the best you can expect is for some techies not to compromise their personal standards but
whistle blowing is down towards non existent.
Don't think ETOP applies to military?
I don;t think it applies to ANY government owned aircraft, military or otherwise

They're used to odd claims in the Netherlands. A mate managed to accidentally chuck a snowball through a window that was only open about 6 inches straight into the PC monitor of the householder who was working inside.GogLais wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 7:55 pmThat’ll be a hell of a claim form to fill in.fishfoodie wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 6:53 pm Yikes !

All while cycling past with a serious hangover.
We often amused ourselves speculating how the insurance claim was worded.
