Engine Fire over Denver
Discussion
Yeah, according to this article its only fleets based in US, Japan and Korea that have PW engines. Also about half of UAL's fleet were mothballed anyway, I wonder how many they'll bring back,

Loosing a blade or part of a blade in a big turbine can't half make a mess.
Remember being sat astride a 660MW turbine trying to measure the shaft vibration after one of the LP blades had come off. The impressive bit was, it ate it and carried on.
Next time it happened we wern't so lucky.
Mind you, we were better off than that Duhva in South Africa.

I started work on the design of it (and its sister Torness) in early 1981.....
Yay, which bits, hopefully not LP blade root pins.Hum, epic off topic or what !
But to almost get it on topic of relevance, the design included design checks for direct hit from a 747 airliner and a F-4 Phantom fighter

A friend of mine worked on plane proof buildings, specifically, how to get rid of the fuel load quickly without excess heat post impact..eldar said:

A friend of mine worked on plane proof buildings, specifically, how to get rid of the fuel load quickly...Let me guess... 4p off per gallon, double Green Shield stamps and a free crystal tumbler with each full tank?

All of the structural steelwork, but specifically, the charge hall steelwork, turbine hall steelwork, diesel gennie house steelwork, plus something that isn't there anymore, which was the giant 1000Te temporary lifting gantry for lifting in the PV's into the charge hall. Did a little bit of concrete as well early on, for the cooling water intake channels.

And a lovely job you did!But to almost get it on topic of relevance, the design included design checks for direct hit from a 747 airliner and a F-4 Phantom fighter

Interesting Twitter thread about what the pilots would have to do in the cockpit

Blancolirio (777 pilot) update

Looks like a pretty much textbook "fan blade out" situation.

He’s an F/O with his airline and in the videos he has a generic pilots uniform on. I guess it’s to do with linking his employer to his YouTube.
I think the captain thing is just his YouTube character.
This whole Instagram YouTube pilot thing is always tricky with using your job to add authority to your insight and get more views but your employer maybe not being happy about certain things.
Then there’s the whole taking photos or filming in the flightdeck thing also. Most of these guys are pretty careful not to link their employer to their social media.
Some female pilots particularly are making good money from social media and even get free stuff (watches sunglasses etc) to promote.
