US authorities working ‘non-stop’ on Boeing 777 engine problem
Authorities have been working “non-stop” after a spectacular engine failure on a US flight that led to dozens of Boeing 777 aircraft being grounded worldwide, the chief air regulator said Tuesday.
The fault caused the United Airlines plane bound for Honolulu on Saturday to scatter debris over suburban Denver, although no one was hurt in the air or on the ground.
“We want to understand what happened and take the necessary steps to prevent a similar recurrence from happening,” Federal Aviation Administration head Steve Dickson said at an air safety town hall meeting.
