SAS MD80 CPH aborted with royals
A SAS MD80 from Copenhagen to Oslo this morning aborted its take-off. The aircraft stopped on the runway and all passengers were evacuated. Among the passengers were the Norwegian Crown Prince Hakon and wife Mette-Marit. Passengers reported strong smell of smoke in cabin. Cause of smoke seems to have been a major engine failure. Evacuation went well nobody hurt. Well done SAS crew!

Oil consumption on failed engine?
SAS was having a (similar) engine failure on a MD-80, SE-DOM, on april 26. 2000. That was just after being airborne, and made a succesful emergency landing, with an uncontained right engine failure.
The investigation revieled very high, but within limits, oil-consumption, on three different MD-80 engines.
The danish autorities did, then, allow a more than 10 times the normal oil consumption, I am afraid that they still do.
Also, have the Toxic Smoke been evaluated? (Blood samples)

"BA plane lands at Accra with runway blocked?" belongs in R&N, SK engine failure in SC. One did not happen/was a "non-event", the other an incident. One is confused, one is.

One aircraft never left the ground and after an unspecified engine problem and unspecified amount of smoke in the cabin was evacuated. No one was injured, hurt or traumatized and the most newsworthy part of it seems to be that a couple of royals were on board.
Another aircraft apparently landed under circumstances that is of interest to aviation professionals.

Newspapers over here report she was allowed to ride up front in the pointy end on the replacement flight. From my experience that can help passengers with a severe fear of flying quite a bit when they are allowed to sit up front. We used to do that quite often before the rules became more stringent, but we still can do it under certain conditions. Seems SAS has similar rules.
