I don’t really understand why this information is now #1 on HackerNews. Boeing 777 engines are the world’s largest turbofans and pw4000 Engine, involved in this explosion is in production since the 80/90, and is already used on other Airframes like a330. I know this accident looks impressive, but engine explosions like this one are things that happens years over years. On Airbus a380, similar explosions occurred. This kind of explosions looks very impressive, but those are things that happens quite a lot in aviation Industry.
