Suspected bird strike, isn't it?
Apologies if already posted..


On Nov 20th 2012 the ATSB reported that the #3 engine GP7270 (15,146 hours since new, 1,857 cycles since new) suffered a second stage high pressure turbine nozzle failure resulting in small holes and tears to the high pressure turbine case, however, no debris penetrated the nacelle. The Australian Transportation Safety Board ATSB is conducting an investigation.
