What was acceptable 40 years ago is not acceptable today. 180 minutes ETOPS with possible dodgy engines...😮
Once again association does not equal causation.
Big pieces typically equate to loose larger bits which often stem from the cooler parts in a turbine. I was under the impression that the earlier publizied problem was in the hot part of the turbine.So I remain neutral in picking a cause out of a news item.
