An official report says the Capt shut down the engine just after it happened but a source says the nose cone was pushed over and with wind milling effect it was off balance

A British Airways Capt once said "Ladies & Gentlemen we have a slight problem we've lost all 4 engines and we are working on rectifying the sitauation as soon ass possible thank you"

Missing blade
I recently heard it unofficially that the blade was ingested and did quite a lot of damage including destroying the oil cooler.
No AND about it. I was simply describing what I was looking at as I waited to board my flight.
Seems like you read a bit more into it.
Actually, I have a pretty good idea.
But thanks for your comprehensive contribution anyway.
There was an engine next to the aircraft but I suspect it was the damaged unit.
It was a bit hard to distinguish through the p.....ing rain.
At least Learmonth weather would have been kinder.

Being an LCC it would not surprise me that they don't have a spare engine which is the real delay.
Another issue sometimes is no main deck loader, most airports have loaders that do under floor loading, not all have loaders that can handle an engine from the main deck.
PER outbound - 9M-XXE
For the record, it seems that the aircraft left Perth for Manila as flight D7688 on Tuesday evening 11 July and appears to be still in Manila.

Oh I don’t believe it at all because GT tweeted the other day that he’s changed his mind and would happily fly with Air Asia now because they’re in the process of doing IOSA... like everybody’s been waiting with baited breath for him to spew out his drivel about each airline. I’m sure people have been holding off on booking their holidays until they here from this ‘expert’.

His name was Eric Moody a man of true understatement. Remember seeing an interview with him and his description of the the flight deck conversation on the 747-200. " Oh golly gosh I think we have lost all four" Maybe there may have been some expletives in there as well.

What's to stop something like this happening again in the meantime? I'm wondering if someone at the ATSB has shares in Air Asia or something.

Is this normal? It now says expected completion of the investigation is the 1st quarter of 2019. They just keep pushing it out every 3 months.

Edit: If these clowns can't even provide an ETA accurate to within 18-24 months for the report how the hell can we have confidence in their ability to keep us all safe?

Now 3-1/2 years for a report.

I assume they have all but given up on this one as the due date was 2 Quarters ago.

How hard can a separation review be? We are not dealing with the steam gauge technology of 70 years ago.
There must be some form of trade deals underway between Indo land and Malaysia. Wouldn’t want to get the government offside by slapping sanctions or bans on its carriers. I mean safety comes last right?

Politics will be involved in getting agreement from Air Asia regarding the final report - they will be strongly against any detrimental findings against them. I imagine that getting agreement on the final report may even require money to change hands; Australian agencies don’t work like this. The delay is likely not the fault of the ATSB.
