Alexmcfire. This is probably not the only No 2 Engine failure since Sioux City, nor is it the same type of failure. The Sioux City aircraft had suffered a FAN disc failure, a completely different and more catastrophic failure than that which befell the Arrow aircraft. Whether the age of the engine has any part in the failure is yet to be determined, but can reasonably be guessed is that a material failure occurred, probably due to a stress fracture or metal fatigue. At least give the crew the benefit of their demonstrated ability to assess the flying characteristics of the aircraft and the integrity of the hydraulic systems. They seemed to do alright to me.
