Should I sell my RR shares?

So basically passengers of the A380 were fortunate they were in a plane built to withstand tuilpty RR engines?

Worth mentioning that the occupants of the flight deck had a 100 years of flying experience between them. Pilot training was in place with an instructor on deck, how jammy.

Read somewhere that 40+ warning messages popped up at the same time. Fun. Loss of control of the outer engine was the biggest concern at the time, they were unable to shutdown that engine.

Engineers are fantastic we enjoy all the good work they do day after day without so much as a thank you, but when something goes wrong...

Err they get paid, and their mistakes could have killed hundreds, they should be up at court for attempted manslaughter.

A good job IT doesn't work like that.

It happens.

But then I might retort, politicians should be made to bare the same responsibilities.

Engineer = 100's of lives lost.

Blair and Bush = I've lost count.

The media coverage this one has been given you'd think it's doom of epic proportions. Engines fail all the time from all manufactures, changes are you've been on a plane with a failure and never knew about it.

GEC I reckon have around 20 - 30 engine in flight shut downs everyday.

All seems a bit complex and meaningless until the last shot of the severed fuel pipe

That is a big pipe and presume would be pumping at pressure as well! Yikes!
