It is not good that an engine explodes, but it is a pretty amazing testament to the overall integrity of that plane.

The folks at Rolls Royce will be working hard on that trent 900 engine to discover the problem, engine shut downs are common, but an un-contained engine failure is not usual.

Whereas I am very glad all the passenger's lives were saved, can you tell me what your post has to do with obtaining a Permanent Resident Visa for Canada in the Skilled Worker category?
