Not often that you hear a flight crew say the 12,000 ft runway with the 16 kt headwind isn’t long enough.
|
The Latch Mechanism again?? What is the status of the redesign? I lost track of it.
|
Seems appropriate for this airline, the left cowl went South and the right cowl went West.
At least this one is going to be hard to blame on Boeing, although I am sure the media morons will try 🙄 |
The video most probably shows the landing back into DEN.
The Outboard cowling ENG #2 detached sometime before, its remainings were tangling in the wind in the video. Avherald states that flaps were damaged Short after touchdown the inboard cowling jumped open too and ripped off another few seconds thereafter. |

There was a weakness in design on Fan Bladeout Event, detected on the mortal FBO accident some years ago, but this didn't play a role here. |

It looks like they made the damage worse by opening the reversers
|
I think this happened over 30 times on the A320 before they changed the design. How often does it happen on the 737?

Nothing really to do with Boeing but very bad timing for this to happen , with a sensational video and Boeing name on the headlines again .
For the average Pax it is parts falling off a Boeing 737 . The PR nightmare for Boeing continues . |

Southwest Airlines ... We apologise for the inconvenience of their delay, but place our highest priority on ultimate safety for our customers and employees," a statement said. "Statements of safety being 'our highest priority' generally follow an incident which proves that it isn't" |

Thing is, it’s a known issue to the point it prompted a design change from Airbus. Why didn’t Boeing take note and change their design? |

They landed on the longest runway in North America, so I really do not see why they needed the reversers...
I can understand them not wanting to use the slats, but why would the flaps would not work? |
