Good afternoon

To you, anyone who doesn’t live in Fiji qualifies as “from overseas”.

Trent 1000 disintegrating

Isn’t that the PW4000?

Nah, Trent 1000s like 5 or so years back had a whole bunch of near fan blade crack incidents. Essentially, a whole bunch of them had several blades which were close to having full cracks along the blade, which would have broken the blade into pieces, if this were to occur in flight, it would impact other blades causing them to break, causing the disintegration of the engine

Wasn’t it an issue with a turbine?

I mean, if you call a fan blade part of the turbine, sure

If you call the fan a part of the IPC and/or IPT, I guess you’re right

That’s definitely an RB-211 off a 747-400, probably British Airways.
