Passengers in"terror" Tiger a320 engine shutdown

I haven't seen this reported yet. A touch over-hyped?

Passengers reveal air terror - The West Australian

What a laugh.I loved this paragraph-

“There was a loud band and then … the plane started heading down this way a little bit and went around in big circles,” she said.

And no one noticed a band was onboard?

Then this-

The broken airplane has been taken out of service, with engineers now tasked with finding out exactly what went wrong.

Really bad when you break a plane.

This type of incident happens somewhere almost daily. Whilst not trying to trivialise this particular incident procedures should kick in for a safe landing

Incident: Tiger A320 at Adelaide on Feb 23rd 2014, engine failure

Passengers in "terror"

...and thought this was a thread about the Y meal service.

When I read the thread title I just assumed it was QF637 on Saturday. Being trapped in Y with penegal, and tuapekastar, with bundy bear in J was a genuinely frightening experience.

Just a touch over-hyped... although to be honest when I read the thread title, I thought it was going to be another go-around by QF.

Oooh... that's harsh

"The broken airplane"

Did they miss the part where this is Australia?

What's a suppressor stall?

That is the Channel 7 version of a compressor stall.

That report certainly rates as one of the worst I have ever seen. 95% hype and (maybe) 5% facts. I hope the passenger sitting on the wing had a VERY cheap ticket :!:

"plenty of people on the plane were tense"

Thank you captain obvious.

Given it was Tiger, I suspect they were "in terror" long before the engine incident.

It was headline in Adelaide last night. Of course.

"Something broken"

..

"Something fixed"

Yes! Nice work buying up this little lemon Virgin. Tiger has a terrible brand reputation for safety and benign as this incident may or may not be it just tars them even further.

pauly7,

Would you care to elaborate?

This type of engine incident is something that happens on a regular basis world wide. I dare to suggest that if every engine incident got this sort of publicity then you would probably be amazed. (....and might not fly again)

In all probability this engine was serviced by the same company that everyone using the engine type uses.

Without researching who has which specific sub models a good example is that there are currently around 2845 B737-800s and 1800 A320s with CFM56 engines.

This was mostly a media beat-up from what i could see. Channel 10's The Project showed interview clips where the journalist was clearly asking leading questions along the lines of 'how did you feel? It must have been absolutely terrifying for you'.

They are the only sort of questions most Australian journalists know how to ask. Unless they are interviewing other journalists.

'journalism 101'...always 'construct' your questions so as to achieve the desired response :shock:

Well the whole was on a cheap ticket....

And the pax , I reckon, were actually terrified. They realised that after cheap comes nasty....
