hahahahaha this guy is obviously spreading it on thick to help his compensation claim which for sure he has already filed. How does he know he was doing 170mph ? I'm guessing (with some knowledge) the aircraft rejected at 120kts.

...and he's already coining it...
Now the story is all over the Sun and plenty of shock horror for reference.
£1000 quid a day?, nice if you can get it and he probably will.

Trouble is, today's "journalists" are ****-scared of checking their facts, because the answer to a simple phone call, all too often, will be "sorry mate, there's no story here". Which is not what they want to be presenting to their boss.

"We were doing 170 miles and hour along the runway when the frigging engine exploded.
"We're lucky to be alive, if it had happened any later there would have been an explosion, we would have all been killed."
I make that two explosions, and I'm sure the passenger had the engineering knowledge to know that there would have been a second explosion.
Likewise I'm sure the crew, after advice from BALPA, talked to the passengers.
My B/S meter is going wild here.

. The quoted passenger statement is their assessment of the likelihood of an alternate scenario, and for all any of us knows, perhaps just as likely as what actually happened.We're not all engineers but when something goes bang passengers are fully entitled to express an opinion, especially when it transpires they are unwittingly involved in a very unwelcome customer experience. The industry is about serving customers well, right?

Would appear that the airframe is G-OMYT looking at movements recorded on FR24 and a report on Aviation Herald. It arrived in Cuba on 27th November and flew out late on 6th December. If so, a report in Aviation Herald suggests the same airframe had a rejected take-off due to an engine problem exactly three months earlier. AvHerald record other incidents also for this airframe of which it certainly seems to have had its fair share ...

Anyways, for the connoisseurs, I now offer the corrected G-OMYT list
