This is the dramatic moment one of the engines of an aeroplane carrying more than 300 passengers explodes as it prepares to take off. The Airbus A330 was taxiing along the runway at Manchester Airport yesterday when its right engine suddenly developed a fault and exploded. The aircraft had fortunately not yet left the ground and the pilot was able to quickly bring it under control.

& what terrific and rapid actions that pilot took which saved all those people :clapper: http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps86246605.jpg Thank the good Lord above that no-one was hurt. But that aircraft, (G-OMYT) has had several problems with its Right engine in the past. A simple Google of G-OMYT shows the aircraft has had 3 engine problems, excluding this one in the past (Oct/Nov. last year). Looks like it has a history of Compressor Stalls.
