S V Choong 4 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Seems like the craft involved is 9M-MRI, judging from those "experts" at A.net. 9M-MRI was the first 777 I have ever flown, she took me from AKL-KUL in 1999. Hope she's okay and back to the air shortly.\ Oh well, I believe Andrew should learned from this by now and not jump into hasty conclusion next time. Wow Pieter, didn't know you know the Swedish language too Edited November 5, 2006 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Ong 1 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 The news reached to the US? That's unexpected to me My friend is also interested in aircraft also, so should I tell him about this accident (just want to know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samsyuri 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 I think the cause is poor maintenance go and ask AK about maintenance.. you will know why.. I put my bet on blade separation. Nope.. I bet not the blades Guess some more... Fuel dump will be performed until MLW is achieved ( Max Landing Weight ) I'm sure the boys at the MH Hangar are going to be under some sort of rigid questioning since this aircraft had just come back from Maintenance at SZB a couple of days earlier . Anyhow , things this , it happens .. Don't blame anyone or anything first . Let them come up with their investigation report first . Andrew , Next time your dad's car break down you going to blame the mechanic ah ? Only God knows.. wooahhhh MH putting on an airshow display now with smoke system?? Just kidding! Hey, the pilots train for this stuff, the engine is machinery and all machinery is succeptible to problems.. Plane landed safely and well, we'll see what happens with the report. Report will be made public as it happened on foreign soil. Is NTSB also having a gander since the flight originated in USA??? How about Rolls Royce?? Has the bird been ferried back to KUL or when can we expect her? Is that aircarft still at ARN now ? MRI still in ARN for rectification and utilising some parts taken off from MRL.

That's unexpected to me Of course it reached US, the plane originate from US, and we live in modern world, news can get to everywhere in million mili second Ur dad cousin is 777 stewardess, not 747? I dunno the difference thou Guys what about the stranded pax, are they been rebook or waiting other MH flights?

Ahmad Sharilamin 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 I think the D-Duct composite part near the bypass section of the engine suffered delamination...this could caused back pressure and cause a minor "expolosion".... ..this , if I'm not mistaken, also happend to Cathay's 777-300 case which lost a large composite piece from the D-duct ( also powered by Rolls Royce Trent 892 as in MAS 777s) and a few other similar cases....looks like the Rolls Royces 892 Trents have suffered this delamination problem more than GE90s or P&W4000s... ..this is the second time this has happened to a MAS 777..... http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0112157/M/ ..someone in Airliners also posted this interesting facts about the accident... "Some facts First the pilot was informed by ATC. Due to a small surge at 6000ft the engine was reduced to idle power. The aircraft returned after fuel dumping and landed safely using thrust reverse. The engine was running on arrival at the gate, and there were no cockpit indications of any problems The D Duct inner skin (honeycomb/carbon fibre) left the aircraft. The exhaust nozzle was damaged by the air pressure getting into the core. The Engine seems to be fully serviceable, after a nozzle replacement. The D Duct needs replacing, and will arrive at ARN on a MH freighter Saturday night. Steve on the ARN Ramp. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 Here's the photo. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1134244/L/ It is sad that amongst us we first think about poor maintenance etc when we first see the photo. Because it is not the blame game that we should play. To me the photo, and the full story is a story of success. That the pilots, having a major EFATO (engine failure after takeoff) successfully do what they have been training for all along, and bring the aircraft and the passangers safely down. That, my friend, is a very good thing. Otherwise there would be an even major story, even bigger than those of Nigeria and Greece recently. Kudos to the crew for a job well done. The probability of an engine failure after takeoff is small, but it is not zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 Ermmm.. MRG was the bird with a few lines of code missing from the Honeywell Systems guys.. MRC many years ago in PER also suffered an engine problem shortly after take-off and returned for an engine change. Well, the significance and importance of spotters was highlighted in this case by their ability to communicate with ATC and affirm that the situation had been recorded and witnessed by the ATC thereby preventing another potential disaster due to FOD...

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 Oh, spotters informed ATC?? ATC knew, but spotters informed the duty manager anyway..

Andrew Ong 1 Report post Posted November 6, 2006 Luckily, I managed to took a picture of 9M-MRI and two of her "friends" (9M-MPG and 9M-MPB) three months before the incident : ***9M-MRI is in the middle of the picture. ***fin of -MRI is behind -MPB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can still take pictures of her in KUL and anywhere else she flies in the 777 route network when she's fixed up and back flying (which should be in no time at all) hehehe also sorry for highlighting your grammatical error above I tried reading the sentence out loud and it really is a bit of a tongue twister.
