Klare likheter mellom to fatale Super Puma-ulykker - Tu.no

Here they claim that the cracks have propagated from the same surface deterioration/spalling.

However they say, spalling from G-REDL but no spalling from LN-OJF.

I am not sure about if the article is correctly citing AIBN.

Because the picture they refer to showing the crack propagation is a
simulation/calculation done by AH and not an actual analysis of the cracked gear

The article cites AH, are currently testing how the impact of a similar road accident could affect the gearbox and epicyclic module.

The last statement, donīt understand it. Why would they need to do such
a test, if the gearbox was completely stripped, checked and overhauled after the accident?
