"Quote"i see these guys doing engine tests day in day out, im always amazed to see them lying directly under the engine when its at full throttle......
As far as I am aware Airbus states that the Fan cowls are to be closed when the engine is run at "Full throttle"...I personally wouldn't want to just rely on the fan cowl supports when power settings above 74% (just above the "No-Go zone")
My condolances to the engineer"s family..
