It’s a 777 so I’m sure 777Tiger will give us some insight shortly... assuming he wasn’t piloting this flight

777Tiger - "y'all ain't gonna believe this shite...."

I fly to Australia a couple times a year for work, and have to take an anti-anxiety med for the flight. Once over that ocean there isn't any place to take an emergency landing.

First, major congratulations to the people who designed that engine such that it held together as well as it did.
Second, the Daily Mail has a photo of the luckiest pick up truck in Bloomfield Colorado
and of the photos of the plane and its debris field

I have before quite literally. the casing & engine had huge flames. I did not panic immediately-- but we dropped big time and it was the worst feeling ever. I was sitting in the seat to see it with one of my kids. the parts fell some where over Fla.
a few years later a plane (737) like mine with the same thing also with the excuse of a flock of birds crashed into a Pit mountainside. then on the ground a lady and her small child was sitting where I was and the engine exploded, and she died.
I used to fly a lot domestic and across the pond. I don't care for flying anymore. I would have to be knocked out

First lesson in Pilot school.
In an emergency, first responsibility is to fly the plane.

Nope, it's mine now.
I will sell it back to you for a price though.

So you could have landed safely in a location you planned to travel?
So brave.

Get a group of pilots and maintenance techs together and listen to the worse things they have witnessed or heard of on an aircraft and you probably wouldn't step foot in another aircraft.
Even with that said, flying is still a very safe mode of transportation.

Not true. Aviation regulations prevent commercial airlines from flying overwater routes that take you too far from an adequate emergency landing site.

I hope the morons on the O-T realize why exceptionalism should be the deciding factor over diversity. May have been 'minority' pilot(s), but if they were exceptional that's all that matters, and they got the job done

That's scary as shite and I'm not sure if I'd be able to keep my composure if I was on that flight.

That wasn't a movie. That was an episode on the Twilight Zone. It aired last week. Shatner is on a plane with his wife. He sees a being on the wing of the plane. Nobody else can see it. It ends with Shatner being in a straight jacket and being sent back to the nut house. He was on the plane with his wife because he was just released from the nut house. They thought that he snapped so back he goes.

What's the regulation distance required? Whatever the answer my anxiety won't care.
