      What I find interesting about the United situation is that when comparing this to the incidents listed above, none of them have the entire engine housing come off. I am calling it housing as it literally surrounds the entire engine from the front to the back not sure what the technical term is though. The videos above show either the front intact or the back intact. To me, it seems this so far was a unique situation that hasn't happened before.

    I gotta tell you, this is about as excellently and routinely handled as an engine emergency goes. Cutoff the fuel, shut it down, empty the FE bottles, declare an emergency, and get on the ground.
    Audio from the video posted by a passenger indicates that the cabin seemed pretty calm, so the cabin crew did a great job keeping general calm. Pilots calmed once they got their checklists run and the aircraft under full positive control.
    Aviate. Navigate. Communicate.

      @@sapsion That's incorrect. The fire seen in this video is located within the reverser bleed air duct, which has no direct access to the combustor or exhaust stages. No flame should be seen in this portion of the engine during flight. The pilot did not need to have any additional urgency for a variety of reasons, including the fact that aircraft are fully certified for flight on one engine. Beyond that, performance data would have been calculated for a return to the departing runway, and the pilot would be avoiding tailwind landings so as to not nullify the usefulness of remaining thrust.

    Most engine failures, you hear flight crew very composed even in the initial seconds afterward. From the passenger footage and pictures from the ground of the damage, and the bit of confusion in the first few seconds, you can tell this wasn't just a "regular" engine failure but totally uncontained. There must have been some serious, scary vibrations with this. Flight crew can't see the engine - totally reliant on EICAS warnings. Well done guys. As for VASAviation... is that less than 12 hours this time? Almost as quick reactions as the pilots! Nice. Saves us digging through FR24 and LiveATC archives :)

      @C-beezy Před 3 lety +1

      I think this counts as a contained failure, to be honest. The other video of the engine shows the engine looking pretty much intact, albeit with some oil fire coming out of the reverser buckets. But its still spinning, and still cylindrical, and there's no visible perforation, no loss of cabin pressure or hull perforation mentioned on the mayday call.
      I wonder if the vibration of the wrecked engine fluttered the cowling loose enough that the slipstream pulled it off the aircraft.
      Anyway, my understanding of an uncontained engine failure is one where the blades are flung out of the engine, which doesnt appear to be the case here.

    Catastrophic engine failure, but engine containment looks like it worked, the shroud is intact despite the massive damage. Engine containment systems keep the high energy fan blades inside the engine shell, but the cowling can be badly damaged and parts fall off. Looks like one of the fan blades is missing, and the engine looks to have an out-of-balance oscillation from the missing blade. I suspect the fire is actually from moving metal parts friction causing oil ignition, not fuel going in the engine. There is an emergency shut off valve that would cut all lines and electrical to engine, so no fuel would be flowing. My observations.

      @@dopiaza2006 and Fox, Newsmax and OANN will blame Biden. What’s your point? All mainstream media is unnecessarily polarizing. Every mainstream media company wants its sheep to think THEY are “fair and balanced” and everyone else is the crazies. The fact is that they are all the crazies - and yes, if you are a “fan” or patron of ANY mainstream media (including ANY television channel - they are ALL mainstream in this regard), even your favorite one is part of this gross polarizing culture that puts people against each other. Think for yourself instead.

    It’s amazing that the cowl / leading edge came off and landed so intact, the engine pumps hot air into in to prevent ice forming at the entrance to the engine, it’s the big sivker ring that landed on the dudes truck if you watch the media reports.
