Okey,Thank you for tell me:)
Oh my. Well, like most 18yr olds, they are hell-bent on self-destruction.
Saw this on the news. Luckily the fire stopped and everyone was evacuated safely.
Hmmm…
Very similar to the BA 777 in the same situation at LAS a bit ago.
Different engines though.
Maybe the problem could be a design flaw in the GE engines in all 777s or simply something went wrong like a mechanical failure or maintenance error…
Korean has PWs and BA used Trents.
