You should have a chat with GE and RR, see what they make of your fairy tale.

Popper would have been onto something if he had talked about turbine blades rather than compressor blades.

I once worked on GANDALF. General Algorithm for the Numerical Determination of Aerofoil Life and Fatigue.

If there's a guy who looks like Liam Neeson boarding then run away very quickly.

You'll either end up eaten by wolves or shot by some lunatic terrorist.

High pressure compressor blades. Individually they take the strain of a double decker bus whilst operating at extreme temperatures. When they fail the released fragments go through the fuselage like butter. And anything else in the way. A slight vibration will be felt prior to release on the side of whichever engine.

Little bit dramatic, eh Scooter, given that the engine is designed and tested specifically to contain blade failures? Stating it like that as a fact implies that's what happens when they fail, which isn't really true now.
