According to investigators, the Pratt & Whitney engine failed minutes into United Airlines flight 328, headed from Colorado to Hawaii, leaving a mile of debris in its wake. After the incident, United grounded all of its Boeing 777s powered by PW4000 series engines.
United Airlines flight suffers engine failure, sending debris falling on neighborhoods outside DenverLooking at the debris field and how busy the area was, Welte said,"the fact that we are still not getting reports of any injuries is absolutely shocking at this point.""This park on a day like today, when it's not as cold as it was last weekend, we could have hundreds of people here.
gtconway3d In 1962 I took a 5-legged flight from SF to NY. On the SF-LA leg, the plane had a malfunction that required a 3-hr layover in LA to switch planes. CHI-DC: one engine flamed out, and we had to go back to ORD for a replacement aircraft. DC-NY: the hydraulic system sprang a leak…
gtconway3d MAYBE MORE INSPECTIONS AND DEEPER IN DEPTH WOULD SOLVE IT..
gtconway3d Doesn’t the pilot do an inspection of the aircraft he is flying before takeoff? Would the pilot have noticed the crack at this time?
Just here to read all the know it all comments. Let's see who is smarter than the Boeing people.
Metal Fatigue=this plane done wore out
This being the second incident with this specific engine. 'Is it possible that the faulty blades causing failure, came from the same manufacturing batch'?
Typical Fed worker. It will take a year, even though they already know.
gtconway3d Boeing planes should all be grounded for inspections. The risk is too great.
gtconway3d Strange thread, but seems relatively straight-forward so far, pending NTSB findings and other PW4000 type inspections - blade fatigue or intrinsic weakness led to failure & separation. Fix is more inspections, updated blades, shorter life, etc.

A year? How so? What tests could possibly take a year in order to get to the bottom of what happened. Ridiculous.
Are they going to force Pratt Whitney to do the proper inspections they were requested to do previously?
gtconway3d Gee a whole year. Crock of chit. They already know. It will take a year to cover up and cool off the media.
For fun and enjoyment follow me I will definitely follow back 😍😍😜
gtconway3d Why is it, they say X, but will take a year, a year later, it is the very answer they started with?
it’s that hedious gremlin...
