Those engines put out roughly 50,000 hp, and rarely use more than 60% of it except in cases like this. I was one of the service line techs during engine seize at MSP. Multi bird strikes took down the twin of my son's Awac's in Alaska early 90's. A 707 version.You'd think they would pass through easier, but a tweaked blade anywhere within and it's done. Front fan blades are pretty tough and $26,000 a blade. They are removed and rapped in blankets and strapped in the seats.

I must have watched this video about 15 times. Great example of safety, procedure, and pure professionals...

The engine did not flameout. The birdstrike resulted in damage to the compressor section that resulted in compressor stalls which explains the flames popping from the tailpipe. The engine continues to run until it is apparently and expectedly shut down by the flight crew. |
