When you have an engine with known issues and that engine starts to spew engine parts out the back, I lean towards a connection between the two. And that can mean really bad news for operators of these engines. If taking them off the aircraft for modifications doesn’t solve the problem...
What was acceptable 40 years ago is not acceptable today. 180 minutes ETOPS with possible dodgy engines...😮
