The modified Crikey story (including apologies) is now headed:
"REX may be victim of engine defect in lost prop incident"
But the text talks of an 1991 incident in the USA to which the NTSB concluded that it was "a fatigue fracture on the propellor shaft". Does not say anything about an engine defect, just the prop shaft.
First Crikey beats up on the aircrew and now on GE.
Surely the prop shaft is part of the propellor assembly or the gearbox assembly and not the engine. Please correct me if I am wrong.
