Incident: Delta Airlines MD88 at St. Louis on Jul 15th 2008, engine failure, lost part

The crew of a Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, flight DL989 from Saint Louis,MO to Atlanta,GA (USA) with 114 passengers and 5 crew, declared emergency about 3 mminutes after takeoff, when the crew heard a loud bang and the right engine stopped. A part landed on the ground 8nm west of the airport. The airplane returned to Saint Louis for a safe landing.​

The flight was cancelled and passengers rebooked onto other flights.​

A piece of the tail cone, about 48*51 cm (18*20 inches) in size, fell off the airplane and landed on the entrance to highways 49 and 364 next Heritage Crossing in the St. Charles County damaging the concrete, the FAA reported. Nobody was injured or hit.​

Delta Airlines said, a panel fell off the right hand engine.


OK Mad Dog drivers who missed this on the walk around???:0 ?​

What's the matter spinproof, Delta shoot you down or something? Between this post and your others on the profit/loss, you're proving to be tanker clown II.

You against the facts being printed? I have never aspired to or have been, as you put it, "shot down" by Delta.
I have friends there and wish them the best! There are "nuckleheads" there also...as there are everywhere..I believe you may fit that description!

Thanks, but judging by your idiotic response, I'd say you're the knucklehead.

You're right. Sorry you did't get hired.

Kudos to the crew for a job well done.

 

[ultrarunner]

You know there's a mechanic somewhere wondering if they were the last to touch that cowl!

Nobody aspires to be shot down; sorry it worked out that way for you. You do understand that they're looking for people who can actually handle stuff like this as opposed to people who can write about it on the Internet don't you?

 

[Tanker Clown]

I wonder if the pax can sue Delta and/or the FO. His negligence (and therefore Delta's) probably gave pax lasting emotional scars. I know Delta's pay is a joke, but I never thought that they treated mx and walk arounds as a joke.

Oh now I get it! You're the one that missed it on the walk around! Nothing to be ashamed about. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
Oh wait you're a Deltoid....never mind!

Your veiled reference above had me stumped at first then I took another look at your cute little girl avatar and it made sense. I thought you were banned 737plyt???? I suppose $10 buys another chance.

Ok, I get it now. When someone does't agree with something you say they're someone else. So, Tanker Clown, how did your last rejection letter get spelled out? Sorry you didn't get hired.
I'll let you know about the weather in NY when I get there. How's the weather over in Kuwait or wherever you're stationed?

[Old School]

I guess I dont follow what happened here. The right engine cowl fell off and the engine quit. Is that right?

 

[swa737-700]

I wish the kids would stop bickering.

Nice job to the Delta folks. This could happen anytime, anywhere.

 

[~~~^~~~]

Happens more on JT8D's.

My understanding from the news was that the parts falling off the airplane were preceded by a "KABOOM."

Technology has come a long way in 50 years.

Sure has.

Just ask the triple seven crew that almost landed at Heathrow.

Typing is still typing ... figure we on FlightInfo have to be among the best typists around.

What, a Delta thread and the Gerbil Lee hasn't chimed in; counting upwards of 20,000 posts...not thats something to be proud of!

That's because the Genital missesd this on his walk around. Thank goodness that Delta doesn't have a union. Otherwise there would be someone to grieve his termination for this negligence.

Lets see, a gearbox takes a crap and blows off the cowling. How the he11 am I supposed to preflight a gearbox? If I could see the damn thing I'd be walking around with a permanent b0ner.....BECAUSE I'D HAVE X-RAY VISION!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd probably have a heart attack though. I don't know how I could stand looking at a bunch of 80 year old flight attendants. Oh well, b0ner gone bye bye.
