Hi guys, glad I can report this from the safety of my own home tonight. I've just come home from a holiday in Ibiza, I was on Jet2 flight LS170 from Ibiza to Manchester. Shortly after take-off we heard loud bangs and shuddering coming from the right engine, we then levelled out at 3000 feet. The captain made an announcement that we were going to divert to Palma de Mallorca and that the engine had been secured. Amazingly I have just found a video on YouTube of the take off,
.
The reason I post is because I am curious to know what can cause this sort of thing to happen? Could this have been a potentially life-threatening situation? How common is this sort of thing? It was certainly a distressing situation on board. I'm an aircraft enthusiast myself and would just like to know an engineers take on it. Many thanks, Jordan.
