...scare of a lifetime...
A bit much, no?

I'm personally aware of two other US-registered part 121 aircraft carrying more than 150 pax which lost an engine on takeoff on the 23rd and had to return for a "dramatic" landing (my missus was crewing one of them. Drained the oil out of that bad boy.). Bet there were more. And more yesterday. Even more today. Will the terror never cease? Was the engine which caused this near death experience a Pratt or a GE? I say make 'em pay. (Obviously couldn't have been one of the Trents... they never quit... )

Yeah. I know. Journos. Guess I'm just a bit more sensitive than usual today... Of course, if I've missed something, please point it out...
