A Norwegian Long Haul Boeing 787-8, registration LN-LND performing flight DY-7115 from Rome Fiumicino (Italy) to Los Angeles,CA (USA), was in the initial climb out of Rome's runway 16R when an engine (Trent 1000) failed emitting debris onto the ground below. The crew stopped the climb at 3000 feet, secured the engine and returned to Rome for a safe landing on runway 16R about 23 minutes after departure.
The Mayor of Fiumicino reported 25 vehicles and 12 houses were damaged by debris falling off the aircraft, one man on the ground was hit too. The man was just frightened and remained uninjured however.
Local residents reported glowing pieces of metal rained down in the hundreds.
The airline reported the aircraft returned to Rome due to a technical problem.
Italy's ANSV have dispatched investigators on site.
Not too familiar with the engine problems on the 787, but I thought they needed to be modified? Are the airlines allowed to fly the aircraft while they wait for the engines to be modified? Or is this incident an unrelated issue?
Luckily nobody on the ground got killed.
