GE Engine Failures

1a sound asleep asks why it is that it is always RR engines that go bang and says we dont see GE engines having the same drama's. Well 1a sound asleep you don't read enough. In May last year the the American ATSB issued four Urgent Safety Recommendations to the FAA as a result of four individual FAILURES of GE engines in less than 12 months. All relate to LP Turbine Stage 3 disc failures.
