It's starting to look as if this may have been a "man-caused disaster." Maybe even "workplace violence" committed by the KKK or White Supremacists.

Jet engine parts on Las Vegas runway indicate major failure
From the Associated Press:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jet engine parts found on the Las Vegas runway where a British Airways flight aborted takeoff as the engine burst into flames indicate a rare catastrophic failure, experts said Thursday as investigators released preliminary findings and began analyzing flight data and cockpit recordings.
Early findings show the failure occurred where the engine was under the highest pressure, though there was no immediate indication of what caused it or the fire that forced 170 people to evacuate Tuesday at McCarran International Airport as smoke poured from the aircraft. "
You really don't see catastrophic or uncontained engine failure like this very often," said John Cox, an aviation safety consultant who spent 23 years as a U.S. Airways pilot. He said the failure indicates parts sliced through the engine casing.I had ignored this story when it happened.
It's starting to look as if this may have been a "man-caused disaster." Maybe even "workplace violence" committed by the KKK or White Supremacists.
