I guess two of the engines were damaged, one report said close to $20m in damages (OUCH!). They could just speed tape it, and use a cargo strap to secure the fan blades, two engine ferry anyone? :)

I watched a cargo 747 swap out a motor with a forklift and then fcf and go in Bahrain. Once the new motor showed up it took only a few hours before they were fcf complete and on the road.

I also think it was completed by maybe three maintainers. Pretty cool to watch as we were fighting through the standard multi day helo FCF. Is it possible to FCF a bird back in to phase? I've certainly felt like it was going to happen times.

Is that legal? I immediately thought of this when I read that.

I've seen this image on a few sites and the people are very disproportionate to the engine.
Does anybody know why?

It's well known that gravitational forces along the western ridge of the Andes have resulted in the average Chilean standing no taller than 3-4'.

I read that in a book.
