Air France A380 Engine Fails

Air France plane engine fails over Atlantic -Saturday 30th September

Air France plane engine fails over Atlantic - BBC News
From BBC news feed today. Quite alarming for passengers, but luckily landed safely in Goose Bay

Air France passengers describe mid-air terror as engine disintegrates over Atlantic
Telegraph article with videos and comment - Interesting comment re. Rolls Royce engines (as Qantas engine fan blade failure) Lazy Reporting? Air France surely has Engine Alliance fitted to their A380s
