Re: Atlas Air Emergency Landing
This is neither a crash nor a disaster it's a contained engine failure. The plane turned around and landed without incident. Nothing to see here

Re: Atlas Air Emergency Landing
1 broken blade can cause more broken blades I think that when this happens in th e front part, where air gets compressed, it can form a cluster the prop can get ejected sideways by unwanted explosive events |

Re: Atlas Air Emergency Landing
An engine like that, one small piece coming loose can cause that. I looked up registration, this aircraft was one leased by UPS just before Christmas to help with influx. I saw it many times while working on a project at Worldport. The crews do a great job maintaining these aircraft. Shit happens and it was minor enough that everyone survived and landed safely. These kind of this happen "all the time", i say that loosely, this time just happened to be caught on camera |

Re: Atlas Air Emergency Landing
Turbo fan losing blades will chew up others & so on, not surprised to see an exit point. All are Ok but they do need some new underpants. |

Re: Atlas Air Emergency Landing
Considering the location, possibly a compressor blade(s) though they are "supposed to be contained" within the engine in event of failure, there are plenty of examples of them... not....
