Photographer's remark
(18.5.2014, 23:19 CET)
Five days before the picture was taken, when performing flight MP-71 to Sao Paulo Viracopos,SP (Brazil), was in the initial climb when the right hand engine (PW4462, #3) emitted a loud bang forcing the crew to shut the engine down. The aircraft stopped the climb at 7000 feet and returned to Rwy 08 for a safe landing about 40 minutes after departure. The engine, that can be seen already dismantled under the nose, suffered an uncontained failure of the low pressure turbine, and as May 18th the plane is still parked in the same place, being overhauled because of the near 50 fan blade impacts along the wing, body stabiliser and tailfin.
