I’ve never seen a birdstrike cause anything like this. Damage yes, but a spray of engine parts out the back? 25 houses and 12 cars damaged by falling parts. Norwegian says this is an ongoing investigation and doesn’t want to comment.
If this is a modified engine as somebody said, it’s really bad news for operators with these engines.
Add the fact that engine pairs have about the same number of hours and I for one would be reluctant to go on an aircraft with these engines.
The modifications are about fanblades/turbine blades?
