American Airlines Flight 383, a Boeing 767, during takeoff roll from ORD suffered an uncontained catastrophic failure of their starboard engine yesterday. Just like the sim. Except in the sim you don’t have 161 passengers, the wing doesn’t melt, and people don’t make meme’s from your super cool pilot picture:
I love this photograph. Mission accomplished – not the original one of the day, for sure, but this one was 100% successful within its parametres.
Very well done.

If it was so damn easy, ANYONE could do it and there wouldn’t be so many empty cockpits to fill around the world.
In the immortal words of “Bagman” Porter: “we are a dying FN breed”
Well done lads. 161 people got to go home for dinner with their families.
