Delta Airlines Flight DL-1425 ATL-BWI, MD-88, diverted to RDU due to engine failure
I'm surprised this isn't much in the news or in here at all:
From The Aviation Herald:
"A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, registration N906DL performing flight DL-1425 from Atlanta,GA to Baltimore,MD (USA) with 154 people on board, was enroute at FL330 about 30nm northwest of Raleigh/Durham,NC (USA) when the crew decided to divert to Raleigh/Durham due to a problem with one of the engines (JT8D). The aircraft landed safely on runway 23R about 30 minutes later.
The airline reported the crew received indication of a possible engine issue and diverted to Raleigh/Durham. "
That sounds innocent enough, but the reason I'm checking in here is a Facebook video, apparently from one of the passengers, Becca Montouth, that seems to show the whole first stage turbine missing, and the spinner rumbling around in the casing?
Edit: Apparently not missing the fan, it sits behind the vanes on this engine.
Have anyone in here heard about this incident?
I'm not allowed to post links due to too few posts, but maybe one of you can look it up on AVHerald and also find Becca Montouth's video on Facebook?
(I'm also not placing a picture of her video, out of respect for her claim of licensing rights. But it looks like a pretty bad failure.)

About Facebook, I think you're right.
But taking a screenshot and posting here might be going too far, so I preferred to be on the safe side.
The problem was really that I couldn't provide the link itself, but rog747 helped with that, thanks. 👍

Yes, but relatively few pax will appreciate either that an uncontained failure may be imminent or what the consequences of such failure are likely to be.

Well, this is interesting. I was a million plus passenger, am an aerospace engineer, and am around military flight operations all the time, so feel like I fully understand the implications. That is definitely scarier that I thought sitting in my seat trying to explain what I thought was going on to passengers around me up in the front of the aircraft; ignorance is bliss. Thanks for posting the pictures. Have been looking for info and refuse to get a facebook account to look at the video the young lady posted. Thanks for the posting.

Most passengers would not be aware of the danger associated with the potential for the uncontained failure of a jet engine; however, the crew certainly should be. Although there may not be open seats available, I would think that the cabin crew could relocate passengers seated near the failing engine until that engine could be shut down. An uncontained failure of a fuselage pylon-mounted engine would probably throw shrapnel into the cabin area.
It has happened before.
An uncontained engine failure occurred at Pensacola Regional Airport (PNS) on July 06, 1996 during the takeoff run of Delta Airlines Flight 1288. Two passengers (a mother and her son) were killed when the compressor hub of the No.1 engine (P&W JT8D) failed, hurling debris (shrapnel) into the cabin. The failure occurred early in the takeoff roll, and the aircraft was safely stopped on the runway. There was no ensuing fire.
