Quote: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.

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 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.

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.

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.
