2 hr Inspection?

How much can you find on a 2hr inspection, but a rather big surface crack?

I have no doubt EA already have a pretty good clue if this is a one off!
( Awol is you like) or a design weakness for better word. Or other issues.

As for it to depart in cruise, some choppy turbulence must put some stress on that big gyroscope.

Anyway, hope they find the rest of the fan and the likely cause!
Would be great to know the spectacular sequence of events.

For now I am quite happy to put put around with my 2 trusted and proven CFM 56s, dont much care for the fan racing me to destination.
