CRJ engine problems out of DEN

[BMoney]

Anyone know anything about the CRJ, Mesa I think, that lost half of it's engine on the 25th?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Did the other half still work?

Did the other half still work?

hehe...thats good

 

[WalterSobchak]

Did the other half still work?

If so, which half?

 

[XPOO]

If so, which half?

Oh, that's even better! Let me guess, Mesa, right? So was the APU also deferred?

Apparently, one of the engines "disentegrated" around FL230. N1 fan blades and cowlings separated from aircraft. According to the reports, there was an FAA inspector in the jumpseat at the time also.

I don't work for Mesa, but the information I saw was in an email sent to one of our MTC Controllers.

Where's Homer when you need a "Mesa Sucks" around this place?

That is all.

I was imaging the other end of the engine being gone. I spoke with a Captain who lost an engine shortly after takeoff and discovered that it really was "lost" after landing. Most of the engine from the hot section aft was gone. Wish I had pictures of that.

Is that a weather balloon hanging from the turbine?

Those are the N1 bypass vanes, not turbine.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Good thing they don't let me work on those things.

Good thing they don't let me work on those things.

Even better that they don't allow you into the cockpit after you're done serving your coffee!

What is that cloth like material hanging off?

 

[hawaiimei]

Someone is missing a hang glider I think.

 

[Erlanger]

What is that cloth like material hanging off?

I believe it's the kevlor shroud that is suppose to contain the engine parts from penetrating the fuselage during a catastrasphic engine failure. It looks like it worked.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

I happen to take pride in my coffee.

Did they finish the USA soduko?
