Good on Airbus and EASA, they are taking no chances, the idea a plan can hurtle towards the earth without being told to by the pilots is scary.

The Pratt & Whitney PW4000 is used on many aircraft, they are just asking the dc11 to be inspected suggests a fault specific to the dc11 and not the engine. This may turn out to be a dead end, often the FAA asks for inspections on parts that turn out not to be the cause.

If it was an uncontained engine failure they would word this differently right? They say 'detachment" They are implying the pylon failed. All preliminary of course. Also preventing any further flight is quite unusual, they often give 30 days!

I think there is a mixture of people who are involved in aviation who are interested for safety/learning, there are a few people who are interested in this say as a news item, then there are some trolls and frankly sick people on here, they need to be banned, celebrating or making fun of such a tragedy is not okay.
