How is it overreach to allow a vaccination record for use while traveling? What we have here is overreaction.

A hangar would be better than a hanger.

??? Loss of cowling caused by fan failure.

Great interview. The takeaway: the 777 won’t fly on a single engine after all, at least not after engine cowling loss causes disrupted airflow.

Is this anyone’s favorite airplane?

Well, the pilots didn’t understand it either.

Sounds like the accountants are back at the drawing board.

Surely they jettisoned enough engine parts to lighten the load significantly. Dumping fuel also takes time, creates opportunities for more damage and failure. Swissair MD-11 near Halifax is usually cited as the example in support of landing ASAP even if you wreck a tire or two.

Having these failures identified by, and limited to, a single manufacturer and type seems the opposite of unfortunate.

If they took the time to dump fuel from a burning plane with passengers on board, I hope we find out about it for sure. That seems like the wrong choice.
