A Skymark Airlines Boeing 767-300 suffered an uncontained nr. 2 engine failure after takeoff from Kagoshima (KOJ), while climbing through an altitude of about 1,650 meters. Flight 306 was bound for Tokyo-Haneda Airport (HND) with 90 passengers and crew on board. The airplane returned to Kagoshima where it landed safely. After landing a 1.5-meter-long, 20- to 60-centimeter hole was discovered in the engine. (Mainichi, Asahi.com)
A birdstrike? ^^ Or what would lead to a hole like this?
