It seemed to be old news and a well handled event by the crew so I deleted it.
Well your old news certainly didn't make it to the Pprune community. I've been waiting for the "old news" appearance, having a propriety interest by way of having had two of the operations (Esso - S-76C) now four (that I know of) blow em up engine failures with the Turbomeca.

it wasn't until the third failure that CASA/ATSB took interest by way of an investigation. I have the technical report should anyone be interested, as it's been removed from the ATSB web site.

It has to be remembered too, that Esso, like all large corporations, dislike having their name in the press when it relates to what may be perceived by some as bad news.

A discussion of peoples experience with the Turbomeca would be of interest.
