"distribute engine parts" ??? Is that the politically correct term for dropping metal shards on the unsuspecting public below?

"Distributing"? Isn't that what you do with newspapers, or information sheets at a meeting? This almost sounds like the village residents were awaiting their share of parts.

LOL. It may be a translation thing if it was not originally written in English or by an author whose first language is not English.

I had to chuckle when I read that. Sounds like a pilot I flew with in the RAF - in the last century.

Very similar to the journalist on here who wrote that the B737 Max had been 'ungrounded'

Some serious lack of reality showing, by one or more journalists...

Or maybe just used the press release in an effort to get something out quickly.

And this article used the verb 'spewed' in the second sentence of the snippet. LOL

Here is the ultimate kicker: The engine that failed was ALSO a PW4000. Not only two uncontained engine failures in one day, but essentially the same engine.

PW is going to have some explaining to do to the FAA.

The PW4000 is more a family of engines and the model in question is, I believe a PW4077

Alex, The Colorado engine failure was NOT an uncontained event.

that is correct. the failed blades were caught by the ring of carbon fiber that wraps around that section.

I'm sure some engineers at P&W are going to be spending long nights going over the records on both engines and looking for any others that might have had the same/similar construction date, treatment, testing, repair, etc.

Here is the local news report in Dutch. Use google translate to check in other languages.

In other words, plane safely landed at a different airport which is south from take off airport near Maasstricht.

Any ID of the engine? And just to be paranoid, 1 is a coincidence and 2 is a trend....

Yup, and unfortunately its #2 - it was a PW4000.

Having these failures identified by, and limited to, a single manufacturer and type seems the opposite of unfortunate.

Probably more but didnt suffer from parts coming off of them something like what happened make them newsworthy only.
