A 777 had an engine blow up over Colorado today, too.

Something tells me those parked cars won’t be needing a trip to the collision shop. Junkyard more likely.

Made in Seattle? Probably not. I think most aircraft engines are made by Rolls-Royce, GE, or United Technologies.

The one they show is no big deal. Could probably Bondo it or at worst cut and replace roof.

Not Germany. Belgium and Holland. I think Meerssen sounds Dutch.

I was up that way in 1995, exploring the Bastogne battlefields.

Very beautiful from Luxembourg, west Netherlands and South through Belgium and France. A half day’s drive from Ramstein AB.
