      Popper would have been onto something if he had talked about turbine blades rather than compressor blades.

        If there's a guy who looks like Liam Neeson boarding then run away very quickly.

        You'll either end up eaten by wolves or shot by some lunatic terrorist.

          Little bit dramatic, eh Scooter, given that the engine is designed and tested specifically to contain blade failures? Stating it like that as a fact implies that's what happens when they fail, which isn't really true now.
