The engine took out two of the three hydraulic systems not three. There were at least ten cracks found in the world's fleet after the grounding but not all were reported..fact.
the slat disagree light was a small blue one which was out of normal scan and was checked only on extension or retraction.
Souix city.
SR had number 2 go bang out of West Africa which took out two of the three systems before Souix city with one of the big chiefs flying it who was very competent. They were very lucky as the fan blade missed the third system but did take out the apu fuel line.
The undercarriage bay had all three lines around the side as well. On the ER version they put some armour type perforated sheet for protection in case of a tyre going bang.
Douglas were negligent in not having a slat locking system like wot uvva kites I drove.
