Judging by the BBC news fixation with Stephen Fry and his being on another faulty engined a380, it seems that Rolls Royce appear to continue to be a bigger issue for safety than wire cutters.
If Fry hadn’t been on the plane, it’d be just another in-flight shut down and the world would have continued to spin. I’m fairly sure it isn’t only RR engines that need to be shut down in flight, on occasion.
Yes I think the BBC is far more interested in one of their “stars” being on plane than issue of safety. I thought that following the $100 million payout by Rolls Royce and the redesign and the redesign following the BA 777 crash they had resolved their safety issues. Interesting to see what comes out.
