In other words, the accident was caused by something going wrong internally vs. an external cause like birds or weather. The report was accurate and useful.
chilll accidents happening its not united's fault its the plane's fault. it could be a failure or something striking the main engine like a bird striking the right part of the engine which can cause an explosion. Stop blaming the company, it wasn't united's fault, boeing doesn't care about people they only care about money. dont blame the airline. and let me tell you if it was American or Delta you guys would blame the manufactures of the blame because American and Delta are very good airlines. but stop blaming the company, blame the manufacturer.
@@segredosdotiosam9989 True on the severity, but the general information is uncontained engine explosion, On a PW 4000 series engine on the number 2 engine. Until the report is out, it looks like the cause is the same as well, with metal fatigue resulting in a fan blade failure.
@@ojofelixnm3608 Hmm. I'm no expert but I think the fact that the engine was on-fire for a long time after the explosion might make it very difficult to salvage.
imagine the fear the crew is going through. while having to calm the passengers down and give them instructions to brace. not sure if they will even live after the next few minutes.
There is absolutely nothing to be scared of in this particular scenario. No fire? Check. 2 wings, Check. Hydraulics intact, Check. UA1175 prepare for arrival and crosscheck.
Absolute shit reporting. Pilots train for this exact scenario every time they go to recurrent training, and review procedures for these scenarios before every single takeoff and landing. This reporting is inadequate and wrong.
@@andersek3235 but they are trained to deal with one or more of the engines completely failing. This scenario is actually not that bad considering what pilots have to train for.
IF....the lost engine doesn't take part of the wing and hydraulics with it, as happened in Chicago with the DC-10 that dropped an engine on take-off....
The aviation analyst in the clip, Peter Forman, says it was not a big deal. I just saw an extended interview with the captain of this flight who said the exact opposite.
craig gilchrist Why are passengers take the phone/iPad/tablet/computer/laugage with them? Is the passengers electronics and laugage more important than their life?
They are giving the world valuable data. Live footage of the incident is crucial, as cabin voice recorders always were, videos from many angles are just as valuable. And as long as taking a video doesn't disturb the execution of safety commands, what's the problem?
That "brown part" Is a Kevlar type containment ring which did it's job! Similar damage to yesterday's Denver incident. With one other perfectly working engine why was a ditching even mentioned. Also masks or life jackets would not be needed. Rare incident, pilots well trained for it. No danger whatsoever apart for falling debris on populated areas.
Don't blame them for being afraid. Hearing that an engine isn't working is enough to freak anyone out. It seems like the crew did a good job keeping everyone calm.
C S Yeah I am sure the first thing that came to passenger minds was "Damn this bird must be burning a lot of fuel". They probably all looked at each other and said "Is United gone charge us extra for the fuel?". Lol
Just land at a closer airport (at least one that has a large enough runway) ... either way, there are things the pilots can do do reduce drag, in fact things that pilots do when an engine failure occurs, so they plane can land even without an operating engine!
Before Covid-19, were about 10 million commercial flights per year in the USA alone. Although on a given flight engine failure is highly improbable, with such a huge number of flights, some airplane returns back to the airport with a failed engine about once a week, tough it is usually somewhat less dramatic than this. Pilots definitely train for engine failure, and have standard procedures and checklists for dealing with the situation.
This happened several years ago, I believe it was UA1175. They were about 40 minutes from Hawaii, so they continued onto their destination. Edit: no masks because this happened a few years ago 😆 I hear mask and automatically assume oxygen mask 🙃
I’m surprised they haven’t fixed the fan blade problem,the cause of this incident was a broken fan blade and now in Denver,it’s one that came off completely
I just HATE it when an engine falls apart and I'm sitting over the wing watching it wobble or seeing it gone! I'm well aware most two-engine aircraft are built to be able to fly on one, BUT, if I were a passenger, I'd be thinking "did some of that engine hit the tail, the vertical stabilizer or aileron or elevator?" I bet maintenance or housekeeping crew had to clean a few seats on that jet! So glad they got down okay. During those 40 minutes, I would have been torn up, thinking "is this it for me, am I going to die?" So scary, but the pilot in me also says, the pilots are in front are the first to be injured if this thing crashes, so I would have had SOME faith in them! And pilots never think they're going to die until the very last moment, because they are SO busy working to fix things up in the flight deck.
Whether something flew into the engine or not, it’s clear from the pics that it had a catastrophic fan blade failure. Most likely penetrating the fan case and damaging the cowling. With cowling missing, it’s clear to see that the disruption of airflow was what was causing the vibration. That’s why they have to big engines on the aircraft.... just in case one has to be shutdown. Oh, and pilots are trained to fly with one engine.
cesar quintana Appreciate that. I performed aircraft maintenance, inspection, and supervision for 27 years and have seen a wide range of failures in that time. Ingestion of foreign objects, birds, or just plain material failure (whether from fatigue or manufacturing defect) are various ways I’ve seen how these events have happened.
I agree. Hell I have an internet friend of mine who is training to become a commercial airliner pilot. On one of his first solo flights (small aircraft, he has to start small and work his way up...), he lost the turbocharger in the plane's engine and had to land at a nearby airport. They held back a commercial airliner just for his tiny little plane! XD But he landed safely. Shit happens. Even then, air travel is actually the safest mode of transportation.
you can observe that every time a plane lands and parks. you can observe the whole process of checkups before it takes off again. they dont check everything in detail.
The statement that pilots are NOT trained for this is incorrect. Pilots spend hours in simulator training going over multiple scenarios such as but not limited to one engine operation.
Planes can glide for miles without there engine's. If the pilot turns the engine off the plane doesn't just drop to the ground, it just glides down slowly.
Why is everyboddy ignoring the fact that some fan blades where broken?? This could cause enough vibration for the intake to seperate, this in term would probably cause some of the cowling to come off too since a cowling is only attached to the engine by some hinges and a couple of quick release locks.
It's also possible that parts to the cowling being ingested by the engine could have caused the damage to the fan. There look to be spots of something white on the spinner.
Same airline and same type of plane just happened again this week. Something is wrong and these planes need to be grounded and United Airlines should be shut down until they are thoroughly inspected.
looks like foreign object ingestion that destroyed a blade and damaged several blades, hence the vibration and the damage to the blade containment shield. The cowling was damaged and ripped off by the slipstream. So Good job by the crew
I never heard what caused something similar to a AIR FRANCE 380 that had kind of the same issue last year. Been a Year to figure out what happen and what was the Outcome of that?
If that's the one which was climbing out of YYZ, it was a contained failure, with blades and bits spouting out of the exhaust (and damaging a car or two on the ground). I think it was turbine or high pressure compressor failure, not the fan, and the cowling was not lost. There's a TSB report on it if you want to look it up.
It was the 380 from Europe (?) after passing Iceland and Approaching Greenland at High Altitude then it happen. Had to Madk Emergency Landing at the Very North Part of CANADA NEW FOUNDLAND at an Air Force Base. Still need to refresh my Memory on it.
Contrary to the reporter above, they were not in danger in the air. It's when they hit the ground at near the speed of sound that the problem usually occurs. My work here is done.
You got to checking the cowling, it's so important! Not really, i's just the covering for the outside of the engine, it's main purpose is to smooth airflow to increase fuel efficiency. It would be about the same as the hood of car, it covers the engine but is not needed to drive the car.
The amount of times per day that aircraft land with only one engine and nobody has ever needed to ‘brace for impact’ 🙄 Yes of course the engine cover coming off is extraordinary but landing on one engine is extremely normal - Pilots are trained for it! It happens regularly. The cabin crew’s behaviour was disproportionate to say the least. How dramatic
amazing feat of engineering to be able to hold itself together wind milling like that for 40 mins! Would have loved to have a video of it blowing the cover These things are amazing to be able to take that kind of a shot and not be blown completely apart with shrapnel all throughout the body of the jet
Interesting 🤔. Same aircraft engine, same right engine side, same fan blade issue, same crowding falling off, same time of year almost 3 years to the day, same destination of Honolulu airport? What’s the maintenance of this plane does it go through Honolulu? There’s some type of connection here IMO.
I wouldn't call this an engine failure. This was merely caused by someone not properly securing the engine cover (cowling.) Apparently this was NOT engine or mechanical failure.
Hey, I was on that plane! The whole plane was shaking and I couldn't tell if we were going down. Funny thing is, we were going there to get on a second plane to Guam to get to my grandma's funeral.
This isn't really the fault of the plane manufacturer (Boeing I think) since they didn't make the engine, but rather the engine manufacturer (Pratt and Whitney). Metal Fatigue caused one of the turbine fan blades (hollow core titanium alloy blades) to break. The broken blade caused part of the blade behind it to break off as well. These things will shred the inner workings of the engine but shouldn't pierce the kevlar and titanium body. What caused the cowling to come off was the blade or part of the blade was spit out the front of the engine, where it shredded the inlet rim. After that, the slipstream of a plane going 300+ knots quickly removed the rest of the cowling
He meant that they aren't trained for the engine cowling (the cover over the engine) to come off. They ARE trained for engine failures and that is part of their recurrent training.
To everyone saying they should’ve been more calm because jets can fly with one engine...the plane was chipping apart, the engine could’ve dropped but had it taken any of the wing with it, it would’ve been a very different situation. It’s cause for a little anxiety
This is thankfully a contained engine failure. Looks like a Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series. If it were a Rolls Royce then the outcome would have been worse.
A water landing in the ocean 99.9% of times means a plane crashing into the ocean. You can land a plane in calm waters from a lake, river or a bay. Still with almost perfect water conditions the plane can be destroyed if the landing isn't almost perfect.
Thou planes are made to fly with one engine, it should be of immediate concern that the rip off cowling could have damage the wing, puncture the fuel tank and probably followed by a fiery explosion losing a wing. Definitely no planes are made to fly with one wing.
Yeah, there's a fan blade clearly missing at the 12 o'clock position of the fan in the photos at and just after 3:49. It's snapped off close to the root, you can see the remaining stub and the freshly exposed metal. That's almost certainly the cause. The blade has taken out the cowling as it departed (probably just a smallish bit of initial damage, followed by the airflow grabbing hold of the damaged cowling and ripping it off). It could have been a defect in the blade, some prior damage to it, or the result of FOD ingestion (including possibly a bird strike).
Every now and then, a jet engine will 'spit' a turbine blade, either because of a strike with some airborn debris or metal fatigue. Turbine blades spin at over 20,000 rpm and the centrifugal forces are tremendous, not to mention the heat and compression forces. Still the safest, most reliable powerplants for aircraft.
"It's not common" "Not something pilots train for". Tell that to the Colorado 777 pilot who just went through the exact same issue (also on a flight to Hawaii, coincidentally).
Hmm machines do fail from time to time. That’s an absolute certainty. The frequency on the other hand comes down to maintenance but failure is not impossible. And re engine fire... engines are always on fire when they are running. You just usually can’t see the flames!
engine failure happens. flying on one engine is no problem on a twin jet even for an extended time over ocean (google or YT ETOPS). but your risk profile as a passenger definitely increases when this event happens as if engine malfunction not contained, debris can cause damage to flying surfaces or other aircraft equipment. plus you are now on one engine so there is no further redundancy if problem with other engine. so passengers are at more risk - but statistically planes down to one engine make it safely to a suitable airfield a high percentage of the time. Pilots are trained for this and normally preform very well. Well done United pilots on this incident!!
Phillip Maguire yes, I think the probabilities of your concerns occuring are very very low. How often do the 4 engine planes have engine issues? How often do 2 engine dreamliners have engine issues?
Actually, a 4 engine aircraft is NOT better (less efficiency, more fuel burn per mile, higher airfare) hence why the A380 and 747-8 are selling far below the projected sales. And as Stang said, ETOPS regulations are up to 370 minutes.
+Andre Morgan Exactly, and the risk of an engine failure roughly doubles in a 4-engine aircraft. Especially the uncontained engine failures as experienced twice by the A380 pose risks.
Well from general observation the blades on that engine look pretty rough. Hard to tell if it was a broken blade or the cowling came loose and broke the blades. Jet turbines don’t work well with broken blades. So ironic with the American flight out of Denver. God bless these heroic pilots. 🦋
As a former piston commercial pilot for a small coal company and a CFII for multi-engine planes, pilots are certainly trained and re-trained for single engine operation in the initial practical test plus if you fly corporate you will hopefully be doing recurrent training. It’s all drill, drill, drill for when this happens. I have lost an engine coming out of 19,000’ on descent with a Cessna 421B Golden Eagle. You are first trained to of course fly the plane but you and your co-pilot if you have one are constantly monitoring engine gauges too to look for issues that might develop into problems before they happen. Those United pilots did what they were trained for and my hat is off to them. They brought their people home. We will all be looking for the NTSB report on this. The P&W engine has a bulletproof record of reliability. This generation power plant has changes for fuel economy, noise and probably weight. Any time the original equation of a system is changed there can be unintended consequences. It can be a number of conditions that caused this to happen, i.e., an ingestion of foreign material, a system or part failure, it can even be a metallurgical problem intrinsically or in design. The people at NTSB will take their time and figure this out. Again, hats off to the pilots and the whole crew for a job well done!
@@exoressdelivers70 Might be a different problem this time. Sometimes incidents are one of a kind especially if there isn’t conclusive findings. I flew as co-pilot on a King Air 300 too. It’s a turboprop. If there is ice or snow we had a shield to energize to shield the turbine fan when that happened. They learned this from finding unusual fan-blade wear which could create blade failure. Sometimes some conditions are not identified right away. Thanks for your interest. They will look closely at history of flight and maintenance. Hopefully they find it soon.
@@exoressdelivers70 Hi there, in our discussion of this incident I recommend the reading of an update by a YT channel commercial airline pilot calked “blancolirio”. It is long and technical but gives you a threshold understanding of the many facets of operations of this type. Still donot know why the blade failure but raises the possible issue of past hard landings may be a factor. (Had to correct some spelling.)

just because the cowling blows off does not mean the aircraft will crash or have to ditch.
In April 2019, departing from GRU airport on board a United Airlines flight, the right engine blew up during takeoff
this is the only acceptable time to clap when the plane lands
Except when they drag off an unruly passenger. Clapping is then mandatory.

Somewhere on a small island in front of a tiki hut is the front cowling of that engine.

This isn't really the fault of the plane manufacturer (Boeing I think) since they didn't make the engine, but rather the engine manufacturer (Pratt and Whitney).
Metal Fatigue caused one of the turbine fan blades (hollow core titanium alloy blades) to break. The broken blade caused part of the blade behind it to break off as well.

What caused the cowling to come off was the blade or part of the blade was spit out the front of the engine, where it shredded the inlet rim. After that, the slipstream of a plane going 300+ knots quickly removed the rest of the cowling
"mechanical issue" yeah no shit.
seems engine was not screwed on very tightly
People got to learn to chill out. Any jet-aircraft can run on 1 engine. That’s what the pilots train for every 6 months.
Pilot Ready But humans will be humans...
The engine worked fine, the cowling just ripped off. Happens more often than you think
Cadê as máscaras, não é obrigatório usar no s EUA?
“Pilots aren’t trained for an event like this.”
Really? 🙄
It was a scare in the air 😂😂
Yeah pilots are trained for all kinds of shit.
He meant that they aren't trained for the engine cowling (the cover over the engine) to come off. They ARE trained for engine failures and that is part of their recurrent training.
To everyone saying they should’ve been more calm because jets can fly with one engine...the plane was chipping apart, the engine could’ve dropped but had it taken any of the wing with it, it would’ve been a very different situation. It’s cause for a little anxiety
Wow this is the same thing from UA328 Denver to Honolulu.
for many the scariest experience of their lives... thanks god.. the plane landed safely..
Why is it the Honolulu flights 🤔
And same plane
Rare, but happening with more frequency, it seems. 4th such incident in last 5 years.
This is thankfully a contained engine failure. Looks like a Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series. If it were a Rolls Royce then the outcome would have been worse.
it can fly on 1 engine just fine. calm dooowwwnn
Is it true, that a camera is inside the Boeing engines?
A water landing in the ocean 99.9% of times means a plane crashing into the ocean. You can land a plane in calm waters from a lake, river or a bay. Still with almost perfect water conditions the plane can be destroyed if the landing isn't almost perfect.
Uh, so it happened again...
the engine without the cover, should be perfectly balanced. no vibrations should be coming from the engine like that.
It lost a fan blade.
Very scary
Not really. It just the cover. Those types of aircraft can happily run on 1 engine.
Must be check by maintenance.!!
Do no't mistake.
"Brace! Brace! Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!"
United Flight 328: Time for me to shine
"there was some anxiety" wow lady...ya think? these ppl sound like they're talking about a book club meeting. I'd be like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Worst aviation disasters ever? How would it have killed at least 585 people?
Thou planes are made to fly with one engine, it should be of immediate concern that the rip off cowling could have damage the wing, puncture the fuel tank and probably followed by a fiery explosion losing a wing. Definitely no planes are made to fly with one wing.
YoYO Semite wtf you dumbass. Calm the fuck down. Wtf you fuckin piss abt?
Looks familiar.
Don’t hold your fucking phone while bracing for impact. What is this lady thinking.
clean-up on seat 34- B
So clearly United Airlines is use to this . . .
Another reason why I won't fly with them
3:49.....is there a fan blade missing????
Yeah, there's a fan blade clearly missing at the 12 o'clock position of the fan in the photos at and just after 3:49. It's snapped off close to the root, you can see the remaining stub and the freshly exposed metal.
That's almost certainly the cause. The blade has taken out the cowling as it departed (probably just a smallish bit of initial damage, followed by the airflow grabbing hold of the damaged cowling and ripping it off).
It could have been a defect in the blade, some prior damage to it, or the result of FOD ingestion (including possibly a bird strike).
Every now and then, a jet engine will 'spit' a turbine blade, either because of a strike with some airborn debris or metal fatigue. Turbine blades spin at over 20,000 rpm and the centrifugal forces are tremendous, not to mention the heat and compression forces. Still the safest, most reliable powerplants for aircraft.
"It's not common" "Not something pilots train for". Tell that to the Colorado 777 pilot who just went through the exact same issue
(also on a flight to Hawaii, coincidentally).
Hmm machines do fail from time to time. That’s an absolute certainty. The frequency on the other hand comes down to maintenance but failure is not impossible. And re engine fire... engines are always on fire when they are running. You just usually can’t see the flames!
engine failure happens. flying on one engine is no problem on a twin jet even for an extended time over ocean (google or YT ETOPS). but your risk profile as a passenger definitely increases when this event happens as if engine malfunction not contained, debris can cause damage to flying surfaces or other aircraft equipment. plus you are now on one engine so there is no further redundancy if problem with other engine. so passengers are at more risk - but statistically planes down to one engine make it safely to a suitable airfield a high percentage of the time. Pilots are trained for this and normally preform very well. Well done United pilots on this incident!!
Of course you don't have to do a water landing because of one engine. Y'all got two.
Phillip Maguire yes, I think the probabilities of your concerns occuring are very very low. How often do the 4 engine planes have engine issues? How often do 2 engine dreamliners have engine issues?
Currently we're up to ETOPS 370.
Phillip Maguire
A four engine plane is better and safer than 2 engine. Especially with the route your specified. Makes sense.
Actually, a 4 engine aircraft is NOT better (less efficiency, more fuel burn per mile, higher airfare) hence why the A380 and 747-8 are selling far below the projected sales. And as Stang said, ETOPS regulations are up to 370 minutes.
+Andre Morgan Exactly, and the risk of an engine failure roughly doubles in a 4-engine aircraft. Especially the uncontained engine failures as experienced twice by the A380 pose risks.
Well from general observation the blades on that engine look pretty rough. Hard to tell if it was a broken blade or the cowling came loose and broke the blades. Jet turbines don’t work well with broken blades. So ironic with the American flight out of Denver. God bless these heroic pilots. 🦋
As a former piston commercial pilot for a small coal company and a CFII for multi-engine planes, pilots are certainly trained and re-trained for single engine operation in the initial practical test plus if you fly corporate you will hopefully be doing recurrent training. It’s all drill, drill, drill for when this happens. I have lost an engine coming out of 19,000’ on descent with a Cessna 421B Golden Eagle. You are first trained to of course fly the plane but you and your co-pilot if you have one are constantly monitoring engine gauges too to look for issues that might develop into problems before they happen.
Those United pilots did what they were trained for and my hat is off to them. They brought their people home.
We will all be looking for the NTSB report on this. The P&W engine has a bulletproof record of reliability. This generation power plant has changes for fuel economy, noise and probably weight. Any time the original equation of a system is changed there can be unintended consequences. It can be a number of conditions that caused this to happen, i.e., an ingestion of foreign material, a system or part failure, it can even be a metallurgical problem intrinsically or in design. The people at NTSB will take their time and figure this out.
Again, hats off to the pilots and the whole crew for a job well done!
NTSB supposedly investigated this 3 years ago and now it happened again. Apparently whatever solution they came up with don't work.
@@exoressdelivers70 Might be a different problem this time. Sometimes incidents are one of a kind especially if there isn’t conclusive findings.
I flew as co-pilot on a King Air 300 too. It’s a turboprop. If there is ice or snow we had a shield to energize to shield the turbine fan when that happened. They learned this from finding unusual fan-blade wear which could create blade failure. Sometimes some conditions are not identified right away. Thanks for your interest. They will look closely at history of flight and maintenance. Hopefully they find it soon.
@@exoressdelivers70 Hi there, in our discussion of this incident I recommend the reading of an update by a YT channel commercial airline pilot calked “blancolirio”. It is long and technical but gives you a threshold understanding of the many facets of operations of this type. Still donot know why the blade failure but raises the possible issue of past hard landings may be a factor. (Had to correct some spelling.)
Another faulty GE engine with blades not cast correctly and with the right material ?
That’s not a ge engine... and how many incidents involved ge engines?
