US regulators have announced extra inspections on Boeing 777 jets that use the same type of engine that scattered debris over Denver on Saturday.
The National Transportation Safety Board said its initial examination of the plane indicated most of the damage was confined to the right engine, with only minor damage to the airplane. It said the inlet and casing separated from the engine and two fan blades were fractured, while the remainder of the fan blades exhibited damage."We will continue to work closely with regulators to determine any additional steps and expect only a small number of customers to be inconvenienced," the airline said."Safety remains our highest priority, which is why our crews take part in extensive training to prepare and manage incidents like UA328.
Japan's transport ministry ordered Japan Airlines to suspend the use of 777s with P&W4000 engines while it considered whether to take additional measures.
But please advise who was the engine manufacturer because it wasn't Boeing they build aircraft not engines
Only those powered by PW4000 engines.
