@irving, is it covered by home owner's insurance? I am kinda rusty on Fire&casulty side.
"Aircraft" shows up in insurance policies. It's either specifically covered, or specifically excluded. I can never remember.
Reminds me of the safety reports.
"This week there were four reports of things falling off aircraft."
3 blocks from my house
Parts left off cannot fail.
Parts left off cost nothing.
I'm not a pilot but I'm curious about landing. What happens during the landing process, don't they usually reverse the engines? if that's the case can they reverse just one?
I looked up some notes, and on the most basic, named perils, policies, damages to property from aircraft are covered.Quote:

I would ask if I could keep that engine shroud if it landed in my yard!
Thanks.Quote:

No fuel cutoff switch?
I wonder what B. A. Baracus would say about that.Quote:

Fire should self extinguish after set period of time, if it continues then fire bottles containing a halon charge are activated. All done via electronic Checklist on DU in cockpit or paper backup sheet. The pilots follow a very set, regimented procedure for engine out/fire failures and are trained a lot on this scenario. Plane and all aboard were able to land safely, testament to pilot skill, training and aircraft technology advances. 777 is ETOPS rated (engines turn or people swimming, inside joke ha ha) for extended operations with one engine out. Most engine failures are not this dramatic with pieces falling off and visible fire, but they happen more often than you might think. Most don't make the news because the planes just land without incidence.Quote:

Shorter runways will use reduced reverse thrust on good engine with a lot of rudder input to correct yaw. Again this is done a lot during training, the pilots are equipped with the skills to handle this.Quote:

Runways at DIA are long enough that it's not required for them to do that at all.Quote:

Sounds like we need more safety wire.Quote:

Thread on FlyerTalk has links to video of the engine on fire in flight:

This picture is a testament to the design and build quality of Pratt & Whitney products:

The GE90 that is on the newer 777's is a much better engine. The 777's with the Pratts are older and used on shorter routes and have more dense seating configuration for flights to Hawaii. It does sound like the entire crew did a good/great job! The flight deck gets real busy when that happens, the aviate, navigate, and communicate, really challenges your ability to manage the whole system. I have been there, done it, got the T-shirt.
If NTSB does not collect the parts, sell it on etsy or poshmark. :D

Amen on engine quality, amazing video. Any guess on approx. RPM when this was taken? Must have been a fun time in the office!Quote:

Serious question..Quote:

Who is legal owner of said debris?
Can you refuse retrieval?

There were chunks of that thing burning in people's fields. Chunks in the highway median, etc.Quote:
