Thanks, Turin, in responding to the Giant Bird post. I was going to respond but hadn't the time to look up the ATSB accident report. Some people seem to think jet engines are as simple as lawnmower engines, they aren't. There are thousands of components which make up a jet engine, manufactured by hundreds of companies worldwide. The safety record for aircraft and their jet engines are really quite remarkable, resulting from quality control practices, certification requirements and design safety redundancy for certain components.
