It will be interesting to learn further of this incident.
Rare but not unheard of. Sadly every now and again someone’s number comes up. Whyalla Airlines MZK had the same in the same basic engine except fuel injected etc.
Thank goodness this time the odds lined up to help on this occasion. I know nothing of it except everyone survived. Big thumbs up from me!
