At last there has been a serious a/c incident and no one has died or been injured. Has any noticed the fact that the crew got the aircraft safely back on the ground which is what they were trained to do and did do. The fractured fan blade did not damage the a/c fuselage, some cowling dropped away, the engine pylon remained intact despite serious vibration due to the unbalanced rotor shaft. Now you are all blathering on about a ‘turn’ or a ‘return,’ and souls on board. Stick to the point – the cockpit crew got on with the job and 6 hrs later the pax were on another a/c and on their way to Hawaii. Congratulations to all the crew - cockpit and cabin - for a job well done in an unenviable situation.
