Lots of luck that the centrifuged parts did not damage (at least seriously because there may have been other damage) other sensitive or vital parts of the aircraft ...
The investigation will tell what happened but it is already fairly easy to assume a break of (at least) a fan blade or a tree break (less likely anyway) having led to the total destruction of the reactor by snowball effect ... or a big drone or UFO?
The Air France flight from Paris to Los Angeles had to make a crash landing on Saturday 30 September after a "serious damage" on one of its four reactors, as announced by the airline.
"The 066 aircraft landed safely at the Goose Bay military airport in Canada and all 520 people on board were evacuated without injury or damage," said a spokesman. the company. The rerouting took place as the flight passed over Greenland, the plane landed in Goose Bay at 15H42 GMT, 17H42 French time, said the spokesman. 496 passengers were on board, as well as 24 crew members, including three flight crew members, he said.
The landing went "normally" on this military base, which is a so-called clearing airport on transatlantic airways. Air France immediately sent staff from Montreal and New York to take care of the passengers. The company is "examining all the solutions" to get passengers as quickly as possible to the United States, he added. Air France operates a total of 10 super-jumbos Airbus A380, very large carriers equipped with four reactors.
