Is it common for air plain parts to just fall from the sky in your country? HAHA I wonder what happened to the rest of the Boeing 777 or its occupants. what an add. lmao.

I have no idea the truth behind that ad, it was listed in Baltimore, MD Craigslist with a location of Denver, Colorado. But it certainly caught my eye!

hahaha I could see the owner extremely pissed, possibly no insurance and trying to recoup something but **** I think the funniest part is the price and the "rare" 5.9 lmao.

I used to drive a fully supped up 2009 6.7 turbo cummings and my boss paid 18 for it, found out a few months later why it was so cheap while having the heads resurfaced. someone took a grinder to it in the passed, put an extra thick gasket on it, torqued it down and sold it. lmao. that was a fun truck to drive but glad that it wasnt mine.

Idk what the deal with the location is but the picture is legit. It was from the 777 that had the engine blow apart over Denver earlier this week. I think they also had the cowl itself listed for like 100k lol

It was a big deal on the news. A 777 was heading from Denver (I think) to Hawaii, 2 of the turbine fan blades broke loose, wiped out the cowl, and housing. They even showed a video from 1 of the passengers showing its guts spewing out flames. They turned around and landed safely in Denver - hell of a deal. Now Boeing and airlines are grounding all triple sevens that have that Pratt Whitney model engine until they can come up with good inspection procedure. The other 777s with GE or Rolls Royce engines aren't affected.
