Sad days for Boeing really. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/faa-orders-stepped-inspections-boeing-777s-after-engine-failure-united-n1258477 Must have been a special experience for the passengers. Seeing that through the windows: |

Are you somehow sure it was Boeing's fault? It's a Pratt & Whitney Dependable Engine fitted on that thing, and serviced by UAL's maintenance team. |

Another PW4000 series on a 747 shed its guts over the Netherlands the same day.. and another United flight (a 737 this time, not a P&W engine) had an engine failure, also the same day. Most aren't going to care about what engine it was - three more Boeings went bad all in one day. |
