Jet Engine Scare

From the West Australian Sat 14th July 2007

JET ENGINE SCARE

"Emergency services in Newman were mobilised yesterday in case a jet carrying 93 people would crash-land after a part of its engine blew up in mid-air. A bearing in one engine blew up just 30minutes into the Nation Jet flight from Newman to Perth about 2pm. Firefighters were backed up by mining emergency response teams as the Boeing 717 returned to Newman aerodrome to make an emergency landing. The plane circled to burn up fuel before landing safely. No one was hurt."

You guys / gals at NJ are really taking the work to rule strategy seriously.
