Airbus A380 damage report
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. -
Should I sell my RR shares?How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -
So basically passengers of the A380 were fortunate they were in a plane built to withstand tuilpty RR engines?Comment

Worth mentioning that the occupants of the flight deck had a 100 years of flying experience between them. Pilot training was in place with an instructor on deck, how jammy.
Read somewhere that 40+ warning messages popped up at the same time. Fun. Loss of control of the outer engine was the biggest concern at the time, they were unable to shutdown that engine.

The media coverage this one has been given you'd think it's doom of epic proportions. Engines fail all the time from all manufactures, changes are you've been on a plane with a failure and never knew about it.
