Im still astounded by the strength of the explosion in the Rolls Royce engine test posted by
Lean Sigma..
The woman in the vid described the forces going on in the blades as hanging a locomotive in the engine.. Jee zuz!
I dont care how tough any of you think you are, if you felt that kind of explosive energy (watch the vid) on any airplane anywhere anytime you would be an idiot not to be deeply concerned and or sh*t your pants.
Now pretend you are Pax that doesn't know that aircraft generally dont fall out of the sky even with engine loss, and you just heard that explosion..
That would not have been a fun flight to be on, and it seems the crew did an amazing job (as they should at their pay grade
).
