Statistics Eh?
Mr Sober Lark
With regards to my statment about the Next engine failing after the first,within 5 min to 5 hrs,in one of 5000 cases ,I forgot about the Dc 10 and the Fokker 70 ( klm Torino to) sas dc9 etc.
My middel name is M for Murphy, ic the Devils advocaat, to many students has said, Noway!?.....You are full of it,
They are right , I am , full of old stories that will repeat themself.
Historic fact, :if one engine fails ,the next Statisticaly will fail inside 5 hrs.the next 5000 hrs . Not in 10 million hrs.
With regards to the case and BA they monitored the rest of the engines and the maint. Records and could provide the Commander with confirmation that he was safer then a Etops twin to go to destination.
