NTSB confirms source of 777 engine failure

摘要

US safety investigators have confirmed an uncontained failure of a GE Aviation GE90-85B engine led to a fire and aborted take-off for a British Airways Boeing 777-200 last month. The engine manufacturer is performing "focused inspections" on other GE90s, says the US National Transportation Safety Board, which on 6 October published the first update from the investigation in three weeks.
