Pretty much. Seems they have graduated from stabbings to attacking jet engines. Denver has become a cesspool in the last decade. People who can, have fled for the rich suburbs.

Denver and every other similar city in the last several years. Hmm…I wonder what could be causing all this?!?

Any report on the engine - I'm assuming total loss.

I would say that’s a definitive yes, since it’s probably the most catastrophic failure we’ve seen on any neo engine. Heck, it’s a total loss when they blow fire retardant into operating engines.

Have you seen the picture of it?

It Looks like blender with the lid off. The black main fan is completely gone and possibly a compressor turbine or two as well behind it. Looks like one of the compression sections is still sitting in the bottom of the engine. Normally we can see as far back as the black nonfrangible area abut now we can see as far back as double that distance. I would be surprised if they can salvage any parts off of the engine. Front section of the cowling is also toast.


Im curious what insurance will cover? Engine, cowling, slides, aircraft down time, rebooking,…?

I think Michael Mott's estate will probably cover it.
