just read this story http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=71037
what a load of pumped up bullshit. the engine threw a blade, its not uncommon, and the plane was NOT near imminent destruction, in fact, it can quite happily land safely with only the one engine. stupid cocksucking news reporting. this is why everyone is hyper scared of everything these days, particularly about flying. miseducation.
