Under normal situations...incident is at highest load..instead..it happened during cruise control. The air lines as of last year were instructed to make Ultrasonic Inspections of fan blades of engines. Move was prompted by a report of a fan blade failing and hurling debris...On Southwest Air flight **determined explosion due to Metal fatigue.

Before he begins the second day of an international summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump has confirmed a top-secret meeting between CIA Director Mike Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, seemingly contradicted his rationale for firing FBI Director James Comey, waded farther than before into the Stormy Daniels controversy and continued his feud with California Gov. Jerry Brown over illegal immigratio

The developments all came via Trump’s Twitter account between 5:59 a.m. and 8:05 a.m. before Trump and Abe headed to Trump International Golf Club in unincorporated West Palm Beach.

Trump’s planned meeting with Kim is a prime topic of this week’s summit with Abe, and Trump revealed Tuesday that the U.S. has had “direct talks at very high levels” with the North Korean regime. Later Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that Pompeo, who is Trump’s nominee to succeed the ousted Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, had gone to North Korea over Easter weekend to meet with Kim.

Trump confirmed that report this morning, tweeting: “Mike Pompeo met with Kim Jong Un in North Korea last week. Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed. Details of Summit are being worked out now. Denuclearization will be a great thing for World, butalso for North Korea!”

NDI or Non-destructive inspections is almost always the result of a dynamic parts failure that occurs before the end of its expected life. This one apparently passed and the part failed anyway.
