Who would have ever thought that GE engine ever failed. This along with the 747-8F that had the GEnx engine failure on takeoff, and the two GEnx engines on the 787s with cracks subject to NTSB investigation.
Busy month for GE engine replacements, more than a $100 million dollars worth of engines, nice way to generate profits.
