What's going on? Why is this happening now?
Uncontained engine failure on an 8 year old aircraft.
A turbine blade detached upwards, punching a hole in the wing.
Happens. Atlas is probably skimping on blade inspections.
I don't mean in this specific case. This was a 747, so it surprises me if it was 8 year old.
It just seems to be happening a lot in the past few months.
Registration N859GT, manufactured 2015.
Amazing, and props for having the receipts. I thought Boeing wasn't producing 747's for a while.
