thanks for stating what we were all thinking about Jan's comment.
The purpose of a headline is to get your attention to read the story.
Most likely if the plane had gas instead of jet fuel the engine would not have failed and we would have never heard of this guy.
We don't even use the term: EFATO . I suppose it means Engine Failure After Takeoff.
We would just say engine failure. Saves words. And isn't a cruise descent engine failure still an engine failure after takeoff?
Sheesh.
An engine failure can happen when the plane is not maintained properly and wrong fuel certainly is part of the equation. Engine failure does not just happen , it happens because someone screws up, somewhere. OK, sure , sucking birds is a little tough on the engine, or ingesting hail, but come on.
This plane crashed because someone put JET A into a GASOLINE ENGINE>
Funny, if it had been a jet engine and someone put gas into it, it would have run ok.
Some of the headlines on pprune are less than perfect , but it got you to read the article jan.
