That's just strange! So if an engine quits 20 hours before it planned overhaul that's a problem for the bean counters more than for us?
The figure is failure within 100-500hours after the encounter, according to NASA. So in a few weeks you could have thousands of wrecked engines and billions of dollars in repair bills, plus possibly years get replacement parts.

That would concern more than just the bean counters, wouldn't it?
