    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.

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

    I’m not as impressed with the engine quality as I am the design and fasteners of the pylon! The lack of aerodynamics the kaboomed engine imposed must have increased the loading on that pylon exponentially.

    Serious question..

    If its on your property, does the NTSB need a search warrant to enter your property?

    Who is legal owner of said debris?

    Can you refuse retrieval?

    I know when the Columbia broke-up, armed citizens guarded pieces of the shuttle until proper authorities could secure them- Jethro and Cleetus wanted them to decorate their man cave.

    There were chunks of that thing burning in people's fields. Chunks in the highway median, etc.
    It broke my girlfriends window. I was snoring on the couch, that boom was quite a wakeup call.
