The US Federal Aviation Administration ordered extra inspections Sunday of some Boeing 777 passenger jets, after a United Airlines flight suffered engine failure a day earlier, scattering debris across a Colorado community.
FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said the order meant some 777s would likely be removed from service.
He said he had consulted with his team of aviation safety experts following Saturday s engine failure aboard a Boeing 777 airplane shortly after it took off from Denver. I have directed them to issue an Emergency Airworthiness Directive that would require immediate or stepped-up inspections of Boeing 777 airplanes equipped with certain Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines, Dickson said in a statement released on Twitter.
