On the evening of 14th May, an Egypt Air Airbus A330 operating flight MS955 suffered an uncontained engine failure of it’s left hand side Rolls-Royce Trent engine, causing the crew to reject the takeoff. The failure of the engine left a large hole in the forward engine cowling. None of the 211 passengers and crew onboard were injured.
Oh boy. That looks terrible! I wonder if the engine was maintained properly.

Rolls-Royce are in big trouble indeed. They are millions of dollars in-debt and their engines are having problems left, right and centre. In this particular incident, the aircraft was 11 years old. Maybe Egypt Air maintenance was not up to scratch, which would not be surprising…

No, as said, this incident was on the 14th of May. The QF94 incident happened yesterday
