VIDEO: Watch dramatic engine failure on Thomas Cook Airbus A330
Yesterday was quite eventful for plane spotters at Manchester Airport in the UK. A routine morning of arrivals and departures was dramatically overshadowed by the engine failure of a Thomas Cook Airbus A330-200 during the afternoon. (www.youtube.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
As the comedians say, "Timing is everything". Three minutes later might not have been a happy ending.
Looked like a compressor stall to me. If it was, the abort was ill-advised. Need more data.
Followup report would be very helpful.
A couple followups. Aborted at 140 kts, engine being looked at, The AAIB have opened an investigation into the occurrence rated a serious incident. A330-200, registration G-OMYT
