Wouldn't recommend travelling anyways, but...

Federal aviation regulators are ordering United Airlines to step up inspections of all Boeing 777s equipped with the type of engine that suffered a catastrophic failure over Denver on Saturday. United said it is temporarily removing those aircraft from service.

The announcements come a day after United Airlines Flight 328 had to make an emergency landing at Denver International Airport after its right engine blew apart just after takeoff. Pieces of the casing of the engine, a Pratt & Whitney PW4000, rained down on suburban neighborhoods.

The plane, with 231 passengers and 10 crew on board, landed safely and nobody aboard or on the ground was reported hurt, authorities said.

I've just viewed a more detailed video here.

Wouldn't recommend travelling anyways

You got that right.

Personally, I'd wait a year at the minimum before travelling Interstate or abroad- but only If conditions are deemed safe to do so.

i got like to get in plane because if plane crashs and goes down only 1% chance to survice... i prefer good train instead of plane..crashing in train is ok .. but if plane goes down it really fucking force... when crash..

i remember i was in my college go to library , i and my friend when into elevator ...and suddenly elevator get down suddenly that was fucking expericene .. when lift goes down suddenly...in short moment it give massive force than think about plane force when fall from sky...

I certainly agree with planes.

It's not like a car, whereby you can pull over to the side of the road If there's mechanical failure. Once a plane loses all power, that's the end of everyone on board.

Both of what you two have said is totally true. If something goes wrong with a plane, it's serious business, as there is no easy way to bail out. However, you are SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to die in a train incident or car crash, or just waiting at the airport, than you ever are to die in a plane crash. There's a reason any and all plane incidents hit our news - plane crashes are so rare compared to the number of people travelling and journeys made.

Absolutely.

Rarely do you hear of survivors after a serious plane crash.

You also need to consider that there's around 24,000 commercial aircraft globally, with 5,000 (on average) actively flying at a given period.

When comparing that to 1.4 billion cars worldwide, motor vehicle crashes are significantly more due to the said figures.

This is true! There's some scale, that I can't recall the name of, that looks into how "dangerous" any given activity is. The rating from the scale given is based on two things: the risk and the frequency with which that activity is done. A higher frequency equates to a higher rating given for danger. I think it would certainly apply here.

Generally, it is said that there is a 1 in 11 million chance of dying via a plane crash. However, as with any statistic, I take it with a pinch of salt. That being said, I've probably made over 50 flights in my lifetime thus far. I wonder how much those figures change for frequent flyers.

Supposedly the explosion was caused by "metal fatigue" on one of the fan blades:

It'll be Interesting to read the overall rating, particularly the equation used to calculate the risk(s) against the given activity.

I'll hit a Google search later this evening.

Yes, this article Is precisely what you've stated.

Whether It's true to Its word, remains to be seen.

Spot on! xD

I wish I could recall what the scale is called. It was a good read. It technically meant things like washing the dishes were more dangerous than a comet crashing into the earth, based on the frequency of either activity occurring.
