well said, the amount of IAH flights i do is unbelievable and business class px that think they know otherwise is scary! With a background in aircraft engineering and a reasponsability as cabin crew as well as having some good friends on that flight i think those anti ba folk out there should not slag but offer praise for our industry and the regulations thats are set ant taught to each and everyone of us no matter which airline!

(no spelling check cos just in from good night out wi some fine women but still no luck!)

I would sincerely like to thank everyone for this information. Having answers to these questions has put my mind at ease and gives me a sense of closure.

As frightening as this incident was, I never doubted that I would continue flying, as I love travelling the world. I have already booked a trip to the UK for next spring, flying BA of course, from Houston. I can't wait get there and to drive around the lovely British countryside. I will be there in late May/early June, so watch out for me. I'll be the one that keeps forgetting to stay on the left. :-)

You all have been great, thanks again!!

Kind regards to all,

PKM

PKM,

I printed out your story and gave it to the SEP (Safety Equipment & Procedures) instructors at the BA training school. They were very appreciative of the feedback and said they will make people aware of it.

In the meantime, the broken blade has been traced back to the production line - apparently it was of the wrong type(material?):
