I have to go back to the 80's to find so many uncontained engine failures happening in a short period of time. Wonder what is going on?
Fatality from it yesterday.
This is happening too much

Pretty sad. Guess you never know when your number is going to come up...
Southwest Airlines passenger mourned as plane engine that exploded showed evidence of 'metal fatigue'

Live it to the fullest I always say......
It is written that the last enemy to be vanquished is death.
We should begin early in life to vanquish this enemy by obliterating every trace of the fear of death from our minds.
Then can we turn to life and fill the whole horizon of our souls with it,
turn with added zest to all the serious tasks which it imposes and to the pure delights which here and there it affords.
What are the odds of that happening?

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Pricing wars in International fares over the last few years have forced a lot of airlines to cut maintenance staff and ultimately we will see this stuff happen more. Qantas cut 5000 staff a few years back including maintenance staff and it's been a point of contention with the company, the government and the public ever since.

She was a great lady. Did a lot of good community work in the Albuquerque area. A sad day indeed.
