More likely they were 777 parts (Korean has 90K and 98K lb of thrust 4000's) or 747 or A330 parts (56K and 62K lb of thrust 4000's). $150K in a 2 Foot box sounds like HPT blades or vanes.

Most of the 737's KAL flies are powered by CFM56-7's. Pratt wouldn't be shipping any parts for those.

At least not out of their CT facilities.

Update:

(Stratford-AP, Jan. 19, 2004 9:50 AM) _ Somewhere on Interstate 95 between Stratford and Greenwich may be a box worth about $150,000 to those who lost it.

The 30 pound box is filled with razor-sharp titanium aircraft blades made by Pratt and Whitney. They were being shipped by truck last week to JFK airport, when the box fell off a truck. A second box was recovered, but one remains missing. Police believe the box is still intact, somewhere in the Greenwich area.

A unsuccessful air and ground search of about 28 miles of highway was conducted over the weekend.

Condor Air Transport, which was shipping the box, is offering a reward. Owner David Clevland says while the parts are worth a lot of money, they would not be of any use to anyone but Korean Airlines, which ordered the parts.
