All you Broomfield Colorado guys check your yard for parts....... Twin engine 777 has had a mid air "Event" in Colorado and lands safely.

They're considered very reliable (GE90) but it's not the first time one of them grenaded. And brother, this ain't no little weedeater motor, either.....

Crazy! That would suck to see..

 

[Hoeks]

Wow, wouldn't want to see that looking out the window

 

[jester]

good thing wasnt out getting paper and having a coffee and smoke.

Well, if I did see it out the window and captured a video of it I would not be stupid and post it on "Twitter".

I'm betting it's worth a good penny as an "exclusive" to a network news organization. I'm sure that value is reduced once it gets posted online.

Was probably a fun landing. Heavy as hell with fuel even after a dump.

Where's an aviation expert on heavies?

Some of them are Trent 800s or PW4000s.

I'm staring at the on-wing video and its weird. Fan case is intact, definitely looks imbalanced, but whatever it was blew off the lipskin, fan cowl, and a chunk of the trust reverser that covers the cascades. Mighta been a disc come apart.

Birds?

Birds?

Probably cats, they fuck everything else up according to Old Wolf, so why planes.

 

[Robert ba’das]

Holy chit!

 

[Hank 468]
