I have had this A380 near disaster on my mind ever since it happened and to me there has always been a dulling of the sheen on the heroic crew that saved the day.
I clearly remember a great
PR exercise involving RR and it's trumpeting announcement that it had successfully detonated charges in a (at the time) new A380 jet engine at full power, to prove that its nacelle would contain all the debris of such an exploding jet turbine.
Since then, we have witnessed a catastrophic failure of a nacelle follow through in the real world and where is the outcry from an industry so proud of its safety records?
Please don't for a minute think I'm trying to belittle the heroic crew, for you would be way off the mark. Their names should (if anything) be the very start of an Australian aviators' hall of fame.
