Testament to the wing design that it held together, similar to the Qantas incident a few years ago. Most importantly, this time it's a different engine manufacturer - EA. |

Financially and technically, a 100% YES! Just imaging if it's another RR engine failure, how much pressure it will be on RR and how much lost will be on stock and share market? |

From the flight number (66), some would say that the devil probably played a trick with the aircraft and her passengers.
