    I saw that. I can imagine the crews would also be pretty keen on this. Answers are needed.

    Apparently at the recommendation of Boeing, and now by an emergency airworthiness directive from the FAA. Looks serious.

    If it is eventually found that this was due to an engine failure then there’s no call to blame the aircraft. MD, Boeing, Airbus etc don’t make engines, and the carrier is responsible for maintenance.
    The trijet design could have played a role of course. Maybe that’s one of the reasons we don’t see 727s anymore.

    If this comes down to an uncontained engine failure then it's likely to ground a pile of 767 and 747-400s also.
