Yeah, pilots I know saw puffs of flame coming out of the engine, and said that that's a tell-tale sign of a compressor stall. Which could have been caused by debris from the separating left engine striking the turbine.
- loeg 11mo agoDebris, or even just smoke from the wing fire.
- bunderbunder 11mo agoIt was specifically the distinct, rhythmic puffing. I'm not sure you could expect the same pattern from debris or a wing fire.
- mlyle 11mo agoI think they were saying that smoke/particulates could be sufficient to upset the rear engine-- things short of what we ordinarily call "debris".
- loeg 11mo agoI'm just saying that smoke alone can cause a compressor stall -- it doesn't necessarily require larger debris.
- bunderbunder 11mo agoAh, gotcha. My bad.
