Gee that's a long way on one donk.

I recently spoke to an engineer that looked after the EK 777 that blew it's donk at Tulla a few years back. He told me something that I'd not heard before. Apart from his personal misgivings about the aircrafts concept, this particular incident was one of concern due to the fact that bits of shrapnel had exited the blown engine, bounced off of the runway & impacted the opposite engine!!
