"We were doing 170 miles and hour along the runway when the frigging engine exploded.
"We're lucky to be alive, if it had happened any later there would have been an explosion, we would have all been killed."
I make that two explosions, and I'm sure the passenger had the engineering knowledge to know that there would have been a second explosion.
Likewise I'm sure the crew, after advice from BALPA, talked to the passengers.
My B/S meter is going wild here.
