Did you see pictures of the engine cowling in peoples gardens... the front 'hoop' laying against someone's house wall.

The hoop I think hit a blokes car...while he was yards away. Talk about lucky!.

You can never have enough redundancy!!

Or you could just carry a spare engine, like the 747 can.

Reports this morning say the cause was metal fatigue. One of the blades broke off at it's base and damaged the remainder.
