Big difference between an engine impeller and an aircraft propeller blade.
I can't possibly tell from a news article what actually broke first.
C'est un incident rare. L'explosion d'un moteur d'un avion de fret a détaché l'hélice et endommagé l'appareil, l'obligeant à atterrir d'urgence. La gendarmerie est encore à la recherche de l'hélice à quatre pales. Celle-ci a creusé "un énorme trou" dans le corps de l'appareil, un Fokker F27 de la société Europe Airpost, qui ne transportait aucun passager. L'équipage est sain et sauf. "Son moteur gauche a explosé alors qu'il venait de décoller. L'hélice, formée de quatre pales, a alors traversé le fuselage. Heureusement qu'il n'y avait que des sacs de fret postal car sinon on aurait à cette heure-ci à déplorer des victimes", a-t-on décrit à la GTA. "L'avion a pu se poser après le déclenchement d'une procédure d'urgence", a-t-on ajouté.
La GTA de l'aéroport de Roissy lance un appel à témoins et cherche "tout ou partie de l'hélice", y compris des débris, qui pourraient l'aider à comprendre les causes et circonstances de l'accident. Cette pièce de grande envergure n'avait pas encore été retrouvée vendredi matin sur le tarmac ou aux abords de l'aéroport.
According to the article the engine exploded and the prop departed the aircraft. The police are still looking for the four-bladed propeller and the GTA from Roissy are looking for witnesses and all or part of the propeller or any debris that will help understand the causes and circumstances of the accident.
The QB crew may also have been able to come around and land but for several reasons.The weather at the time was 300 X 1/2 -SN. They took off on R06 and lost the engine right at rotation. The prop and nose casing was found on the runway. Debris had penetrated the DC electrical panel behind the co-pilot seat and they were unable to raised the gear plus the lower cowling had come unfastened and had swung down and lodged against the MLG drag strut. Added to that the stew moved some passengers from the right to the left side of the aircraft - away from the fire - and in doing so the aft C of G was exceeded. They were attempting a split assed right turn to remain visual and come around and land on R30, the threshold of which was co-located with R06 at the time. They almost made it, they crashed just short of the R30 approach lights.
