Southwestin koneella moottoririkko

[Ilkka Mäkelä 980]

Southwest Airlinesin Orlandoon, Floridaan matkalla ollut 737-700 joutui tekemään hätälaskun Pensacolaan lentopinnalta 310 ykkösmoottorin etuosan (ilmanottoaukon suojuksen) räjähdyksenomaisesti irrottua ja irtonaisten osien läpäistyä koneen rungon, mikä johti matkustamon paineiden menetykseen (ks. kuvat). Laskeutuminen sujui ongelmitta eikä loukkaantumisia tapahtunut.

 

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration N766SW performing flight WN-3472 from New Orleans,LA to Orlando,FL (USA) with 99 passengers and 5 crew, was climbing through FL310 out of New Orleans, about 80nm west of Pensacola,FL (USA) when the front section of the left hand engine (CFM56) separated, debris impacted and punctured the left side of the fuselage causing a loss of cabin pressure. The crew diverted the aircraft to Pensacola for a safe landing on runway 17, the aircraft vacated the runway and taxied to the apron with emergency services following the aircraft. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
