Yikes, good job to the crew.

I will be fascinated to learn the maintenance history of
that turbine.  Did it get an economical offshore overhaul?

She first asked air traffic controllers for permission to land at the nearest airport, but then aimed for Philadelphia, where the crippled plane made an emergency landing.A jagged chunk of an engine part called the inboard fan cowl hit a window, shattering it and causing a partial loss of pressure in the cabin that pushed 43-year-old Jennifer Riordan halfway out the window. She died later.The National Transportation Safety Board provided new details Thursday on the fatal accident aboard Southwest Flight 1380 on April 17.

They've already inspected all the high-cycle blades, I understand.

In Canada, years would pass before any action was taken, because
safety isn't as important as other considerations (eg bilingual report,
promotions, pensions, office coffee maker selection, etc).
