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.

Yeah, only 777's with the Pratt & Whitney engine are grounded.

It's the optics of it.

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.

Apparently that's a titanium fire in the video  :o
