Delta 104 A330 São Paulo suffers uncontained engine failure [video]
- burnt-resistor 7mo agoNo injuries. Returned to airport. Uncontained failure of the low pressure turbine (LPT) around #3 or #4. Flight: Delta Flight 104 São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) to Atlanta (ATL) When: 2026-03-30 Sunday 11:49 pm local (2026-03-31 02:49 UTC) Model: Airbus A330-323 Registration: N813NW Serial: 0799 Mode S: 52612702 / AB15C2 Engine: Left (number 1) Pratt & Whitney PW4168A There's a split in the engine case. Hazarding premature speculation, with the age of the engine and its failure mode, this leads me in the direction of ADs around LPT stator or blade assembly fatigue allowing component lean back, leading to catastrophic interference.
