"Bombardment" of the city with engine wreckage: an aircraft accident in the USA

In Bloomfield, Colorado (USA), wreckage from a burning engine of a passenger Boeing fell on private residential buildings. The emergency situation arose with a United Airlines liner flying 328 from Denver to Honolulu.

It is reported by the American television channel CNN.

The Boeing 777's right-hand engine caught fire just after the airliner took off at 12.49 local time yesterday. Some parts of the power unit fell off as a result of the accident and fell down on houses.

At this time, there were 231 passengers on board. All of them survived, as the plane managed to make a successful landing at Denver airport about 20 minutes after the Bloomfield police informed about the "bombardment" of the town with engine debris. Everything went well thanks to the professional actions of the crew, who calmly and without panic requested an emergency landing and called rescue services. Whether there are any wounded among the passengers has not yet been reported.

It is known that no one was injured from the residents of the city where the engine parts fell. The police department asked them not to touch the found debris on their own, but to report them to the police.

It's a miracle ... that they survived ... the casing was not secured?
The motor did not burn, it just worked without shrouds ...

[marchcat]

That's a gift from heaven 8 (

[Shurik70]

In the photo - even the glass on the wooden house is intact, on which a piece of the casing fell. So it weighs nothing at all.

[oleg-gr]

"Presents" came from the sky. Merikos are no stranger to losing something from a flying plane. They can also drop a rocket "by mistake".

[Pete mitchell]

Three meters in diameter ... lucky

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Oh, and a sight! This is the first time I've seen this!
Perhaps I am mistaken, but the probability of a fire, a big fire, or a burnt-out engine falling off (especially on landing) was probably.
The passengers are VERY lucky.
And the pilots are wonderful high-class professionals, who calmly landed the plane with full tanks on one engine with an emergency second in what condition is unknown.

[Pete mitchell]

If I am not mistaken, then two years ago something similar happened on the A320 at the British: the engineers did not close the engine hood locks after service. But it wasn't as dramatic there.
We assume the Lord has - after the situation, engine severe damage, began to develop, they unambiguously cut off the engine from the fuel intake .. in theory, all the most unpleasant has already happened.
Well done, of course, 23 minutes for everything - competently and without fuss. Of course, the reasons for what happened are interesting.

[Pete mitchell]

The boss just threw it off, Banter of course

[Alien From]

Passengers are probably gray-haired .... I would definitely! All are safe, and this is the main thing!

[Pete mitchell]

As you can see, someone else was going to hyipanut like ... The crew, I think then definitely relieved stress

[Alien From]

It is not a topic to build such incidents into likes. Happy holiday to all members of the forum

[Looking for]

you are absolutely right. The air intake toe weighs about 100 kg.

[Lech from Android.]

How can you not fix a cover of this size? The commission will investigate the causes of the incident. The crew of the liner acted competently and coolly ... Well done. The passengers probably prayed to God that everything would end well.

[Destiny]

Yes, all of them were very lucky, both on earth who were, and on the plane to passengers, that no one was hurt ... It happens ... The pilots are great, they worked professionally.

Passengers probably prayed to God

Someone was praying, and someone else was filming on the phone. Now, apparently, this video is trading. Exclusive, however.

[Konnick]

Someone prayed for the pilots, that's all. They saved the plane and people.

[Mountain shooter]

Yes Easy. The locks were not closed ... After service.

[loki565]

Judging by the vibration there, the blades flew off, they probably damaged the casing

[dauria]

it just worked without shrouds ...

Worked ? Have you seen the video? The remaining fuel burns out after the fire hydrants are closed. And already in the second (cold circuit). And spinning in an oncoming stream. It’s a miracle that the pylon didn’t vomit with the remains of the engine.

Yes, of course, the remaining fuel burned out. Wrongly put it. He worked in the sense of spinning. Didn't jam. As for the scattered blades ... The blades could damage the fuselage ... Probably, we will soon find out the details, the plane is SEL!

[donavi49]

After the well-known disaster, when the engine vomited, due to a cracked pylon, on takeoff. And the plane crashed with a bunch of passengers (for a long time there was the worst plane crash in the United States) due to torn contours, that is, the wing mechanization simply left and the plane turned over (the pilots did not have time to understand that they were spinning due to non-metric mechanization) - all subsequent aircraft are being designed taking into account the separation of the engine at any stage of the flight, without catastrophic consequences.

The video clearly shows what is on. Most likely, the fuel valve is on.

[210ox]

Yes, there the vibration of the remaining is clearly not normal .. Well, and the passengers of the panic moloriki do not seem to be, they are filming the burning out ..

[Real Pilot]

It's good that everyone is alive! These are the civilians, the crew and the residents below.
We all fly by airlines, sometimes small planes, passenger and pilot solidarity triumphs!
I approve of the professionalism of the crew.

By the way, because the planes are insured against civil liability, the owners of damaged roofs must receive compensation.

[Baloo]

Respect and respect to the pilots.

[Observer2014]

The people went nuts when such a "wheel" in the yard fell. I won't say anything about the passengers on this flight. There "impressions" !!!. Enough for the rest of my life. It's good that everyone is alive and well. And the reason for this "fireworks" from the engine will be dealt with.

[Jacket in stock]

Yes, the passengers were lucky.
Well, only the casing has collapsed, and not the engine itself, as we recently had in Novosibirsk with "Ruslan".

[Lech from Android.]

Our Ruslan found himself in a much worse situation, such a multi-ton colossus cannot be quickly deployed and cannot be planted at an ordinary airfield. The pilots also landed the plane in a filigree manner.

[ironic]

Glory to Gd, all are intact. And such an incident is a serious minus in the karma of the 777, although it may only be the fault of the attendants, but people will remember the plane.

[military_cat]

Quote: ironic

people will remember exactly the plane.

Professionals will remember the culprit. Ordinary people will remember that an airplane on one engine flew to the airport and sat down without casualties, while passengers, meanwhile, were filming the torn-up engine on their phones so that friends could throw off a cool video.

[ironic]

As far as you are right, we will find out from Boeing shares. This is what the activity of collective memory will unambiguously show.

[Maximilian37]

Only B777-300 and B777-300ER fly to us in Kamchatka from wide-body aircraft! And I follow the fate of every plane very closely. After this news, one of my fears became less, now I realized that this bird, even with one motor, would return me alive to the ground. The main thing is that the pilots do not blunder.

[Titus_2]

For me, the main thing is that Boeing's reputational losses are the most important .... nothing pleases as much as the failure of its "comrades".

[Omskgasmyas]

How quickly the mess spreads throughout Valinor to all spheres of life. Quite recently, when landing, one litak almost fell into a ravine. So far, God keeps passengers, but luck does not last forever.

[Simon schempp]

Boeing's reputation loss is the most important

Boeing, as it was number 1 in the world, will remain so.

[tralflot1832]

Americans, compatriots have a chance to become a millionaire for the owner of this frame shack by suing United Airlines. And so a double miracle, here God is on the side of the Americans!

[Prisoner]

The guy in the photo was not lucky. Get on the roof and get rich at the expense of the airline.

[AVA77]

Not the fact that no luck get over the head with an airline funeral.

[Prisoner]

Relatives do not lose.

[tralflot1832]

Duc got rich anyway, he fell on the site. Option: Now, when the plane is flying over me, not only peeing but also pooping, I have to go without pants and panties. Because of this I can not fulfill my dream of buying a Ferrari and making an offer to Kim Kardashian I want 100500 billion dollars. Of course they will, but they will say a wedding with Kim at their own expense.

Hmm. And this is on the "military review". And nothing that the engine did not catch fire, but the flame was from the combustion chamber?
This is what happens when, instead of knowledgeable people, they put all kinds of "Volodin newsmen".

In fact, there the flame comes from under the cold fan circuit, and the vibration of the fan is clearly noticeable

This is what happens when you try to be smart and you look stupid. This is me about you.

[Pavel57]

The aircraft was originally designed to fly with one engine. But the skill of the crew has not been canceled.

[kig]

A little more photos

[tralflot1832]

God's hand deliberately put the start of the engine fairing into the yard for this American. I have a suspicion that this thing ricocheted there or the cunning American brought it from another area. The paving slabs are intact !!!

[Titus_2]

The first photo, as I understand it, is made on the way to the airport?

[dgonni]

Ndya. Wangyu or an aircraft for decommissioning or replacement of a wing. Modes of operation are unpredictable.
The sausage liner is non-acidic.
But the fire did not actually happen, which speaks of a competent piping.
The Pax are lucky!

Yes, people on earth were probably born in jeans, since no one was beaten.

It's a little scary to fly on Boeing, if it's not an old 737.

It's a little scary to fly on Boeing, if it's not an old 737.

There is a TV program about the investigation of aviation accidents. There were such stories about this Boeing-737 that the hair was on end.
What impressed me the most was not even Boeing's practice of casting a shadow over the fence and not recognizing its shoals, but the clumsy test methodology.
For example, there have been repeated Bonga 737 crashes due to loss of control. Once a defect arose and eliminated itself in flight. Control system checks showed no malfunction. They took a long time to swim until one particularly talented researcher suggested testing the system not at ROOM temperature, as was usually done, but at -50, as in flight. At -50, one of the valves suddenly began to work in reverse mode.
In fact, a normal engineer in this situation would start by familiarizing himself with the technical specifications for the components of the control system, assessing the adequacy of test methods, and only after that he proceeded to check the system's performance.

Today is a rainy day at Boeing! In Holland from a cargo Boeing 747 400 a part fell on an elderly woman, escaped with minor injuries and fright! The plane landed safely.

[donavi49]

This is an old three ax.

Why is it terrible? They sat down quite casually. He can fly 1 minutes on 180 engine according to certification. After the taps were closed, if a big fire did not have time to flare up, then there is almost no risk.

In fact, such an emergency is scary with 2 problems:
- long reaction, residual flow or overflow of fuel, in general, if the engine flares up strongly and the wing begins to degrade. ...
- rupture of important highways by fragments. But they are duplicated many times. It will spam the pilots with errors, but it’s unlikely that everything is important. There will be no explosive decompression, unless, of course, there the fan will cut through the case.

The largest and oldest Australian aircraft company, Qantas, has not had a single fatal accident. Perhaps this is a world record. Fly Qantas!

[Esoteric]

I applaud the filmmaker. A person's nerves are in perfect order.

[iouris]

in his place, everyone would do this ...

[tralflot1832]

Selfies would be cooler.

[Pereira]

Why are people in shorts? We've been rubbing it in for a week that the states are covered with snow and freeze.
Someone is clearly lying.

[Gennady Fomkin]

Thank God that people did not suffer.

[Gennady Fomkin]

According to DW, a similar situation occurred on the same day in the Netherlands. A Boeing 747-400F cargo plane was flying from Maastricht to New York when one of its four engines caught fire. Parts of it came off and fell to the ground, causing two injuries.

An elderly woman was hospitalized with a head injury, and a child sustained burns while trying to lift a hot wreck of an engine. The plane was successfully landed in the Belgian city of Liege. Law enforcement agencies have found no connection between the incidents in the US and the Netherlands.

However, the top fleas will not squeal about this, this is not a Super-Jet, this is different

[Gray-haired Zinnik]

The crew, of course, are great. And the passengers seem to have a new phobia.

United Airlines is suspending all of its Boeing 777s currently in service, powered by Pratt & Whitney 4000 series engines, after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has called for increased inspections. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Sunday that initial examination of the Pratt & Whitney PW4077 engine from United Airlines Flight 328 showed that two fan blades were broken and the remaining blades were damaged "at the ends and leading edges."

[Gennady Fomkin]

Since this is a Boeing, it is krasava and respect. Something amers have no luck with this model!

Maybe they should quench our father: sprinkle with holy water?

Would be SJ, would be called atstoy.

If that diffuser is made of aluminum, I wouldn't report it to the police right away.

The Chinese, on the other hand, are rushing normally, they certify the C919 and the end of the 737th. The cost is one and a half times less! 68.4 million versus 110 million Our MS 21 - from $ 90 million /
