Malaysian 777 engine problem in Stockholm
Yesterday a Malaysian 777 had to return after takeoff due to engine problem. Dumped fuel and landed without problems.
Some pictures and text (swedish) here: http://www.expressen.se/index.jsp?a=740274
The aircraft arrived late from New York and one newspaper here in Sweden says that it was because of engine problems in New York.
Anyone with more info?

I can only add the obvious which is the aircraft would have been a B777-200ER. Rumour has it that they were headed to KUL which would have made it flight MH091.
Likely was reg 9M-MRI as they were just in EWR on 2/11 and scheduled to return to KUL via Stockholm on 3/11.

it begs the question re the recent AD re having to use TOGA on the GE 90s......115000lbs of poke is an awful lot of energy to expend on every take off.
Or they GE's on the aircraft in ?

HF, Agreed on the smoke.
Just heard that this A/C may have just come off some heavy maintenance recently. (C or D check was due ?) only a rumour at this point, but from a reliable source.
BC, pretty sure MHs 777s are all RR powered.

The failing engine appears to be missing the circular 'collar' shaped structure (I don't know the correct name for it) just forward of the exhaust cone - are the remains of this perhaps what is being ejected aft?

Engines wouldn't be touched.

Sorry, engines not touched?? You've got to be joking!
Even the very latest FADEC Powerplants require attention,
AND certainly during a maintenance check!
BAe146??

Id rather be on the ground having done an overwight landing rather then risk being over the ocean when i loose the second engine.
Or are procedures different on the 777?
Thanks
