[quote:Anonymous Coward 35160882:MV80MDg0OTA0Xzc0MDQzMzIyX0NFMEEwNzgz] [quote:Bananafighter:MV80MDg0OTA0XzMwNDMyNzUx] Dramatic video footage taken by a passenger on board a Baltimore-bound flight Monday showed a loose spinner rattling in one of the engines before the plane was forced into an emergency landing. Delta's Flight 1425 – a 32-year-old MD-88 – left Hartsfield-Jackson International Baltimore-Washington International around 12:48 Monday. About an hour into the flight, passengers said they heard a loud boom followed by smoke billowing into the cabin. https://www.foxnews.com/travel/see-it-delta-engine-falls-apart-midflight-before-emergency-landing And this is why I refuse to fly. Security garbage aside, these plans are old, not very well maintained and literally falling apart. [/quote] Oh hell the cap fell off the end of the shaft and rattled around on the fan blades. Nothing big enough to hurt it was getting ingested into the engine. You guys worry about shit like this but BIRD STRIKES are a much bigger risk. Idiots with "drones" are getting to be a risk too.
