Boeing recommends grounding some 777s after catastrophic engine failure

Boeing recommended that airlines ground all of its 777 aircraft with the same type of engine as the one that failed over Denver on the weekend. Pieces of its casing rained down on suburban neighbourhoods. No injuries were reported.

Planes produce a lot of waste when they crash, and if there is a large percentage of people being injured and maybe even dying. These planes needs to be fixed.

WOW!A real reporter. Nice that they pointed out the engine manufacturer and not like the othere news services who keep talking about the plane manufacturer. Good job!

When your aviation expert calls a jet engine „a motor“ 🙄

[ChaoticCraze]

Pretty sure duct tape would have kept that together

Benny Hill once said that the name Boeing sounds like "A part Popping Off, Boei-oei-oei-oei-oeing!"

Seeing as their other plane, the 737, was finally grounded after two horrible crashes, I guess Boeing aren’t looking to damage their failing business any further.

ALL planes are certified airworthy every day, it has nothing to do with companies or age

That engine almost hit Donnie Darko’s room!

Despite all the fails with the 737 max 8 and this 777 with the Pratt & Whitney engine, Boeing is still invincible.

Maybe people should stop believing this company any more, this is not the first time

[AbdullahKhan-mypz]

First 747, now 777. Boeing seems to value safety alot less these recent years

[looverse]

At this point you have to be suicidal to fly a Boeing.

The General Electric engines are Generally Not Electric.

Here’s an idea stop flying these damn planes from this company

Does this mean the movie "Donny Darko" is actually a documentary?

This is why u only fly with the top 10 airlines plane failure is always something about maintainance and stuff they didn't notice the fan blade snap jeezus Iv studied plane crashes for around 2 years cause I was so fascinated by it and alot of the time it's ussualy a problem with the maintainance

THAT'S what happens when you hire people from Subway and KFC to build aircrafts. WHEN your Shareholders are more important than public safety and cutting costs is your Number One priority. Cut Corners and hopemit won't crash.

First piece sounds like it sonic boomed before landing 😳 crazy on deck for my morning coffee ☕️ and almost hit by a freaking jet ✈️ tik tok eat your heart out lol joke aside this is scary af they have not fixed this kinda 💩 yet 🤷‍♂️

Also remember Trump put his personal pilot as head of the FAA less regulations make for more dangerous skies

[billturner]

My Pillow Guy just got sued for Billons of dollars and Trump has to produce his Tax records for the last 8 years to the Grand Jury.
