Not sure that link will work as it came off the apple news app. But looks like the front cowling just ripped off mid flight on a southwest 737! Doesn't look too catastrophic and it's unclear if the engine actually stopped working completely (thought the captain said they lost engine number 1... He may have shut it down though). But that would put the sts up me!

Well, it's gouged a hole in the outer skin and has struck the main wing where it blends to the body and struck tail plane on its way. Probably very strong parts of the structure but just imagine if it took the tail wing off or damaged the elevators (aielerons?).Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
