Boeing 777 grounded after engine incident
United Airlines has grounding 24 of its Boeing 777 aircraft, and Japan has done the same with 32 aircraft operated byJapan Airlines and All Nippon Airways, after a 777-200 jet suffered engine failure after take-off on Saturday. Boeing said it recommended suspending the use of 777 jets. TheUS Federal Aviation Administration has issued a directive requiring immediate or stepped-up inspections of planes using the same hollow fan blades unique to the Pratt & Whitney 4000 engine that failed on United Flight 328. The plane, bound for Honolulu, was carrying 231 passengers and 10 crew when it suffered a failure in the right-hand engine of the 26-year-old 777. The engine casing fell off, apparently landing in the front garden of a home in the town of Broomfield. A passenger filmed the fire in the wing-mounted engine. The plane returned to Denver airport and nobody suffered injury. The BBC and Reuters have more.
