Engine parts fell
off jet bound for Dubai
The report found the right-hand engine's thrust reverser assembly had become damaged.
Parts of the engine of a Boeing 777 aircraft bound for Dubai became loose and fell 15,000 feet into a building in the small south eastern English village of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, when the jet took off from Heathrow airport last year, an investigation has revealed.
The Dubai-bound Royal Brunei aircraft, which had 256 passengers and 12 crew on board, returned to the airport shortly after takeoff after pilots heard a 'loud, rumbling noise' and vibration coming from one of the two Rolls Royce Trent turbofan engines, it was reported in the Daily Mail newspaper.
Upon landing, engineers found part of the engine was missing and were later discovered in a building in the village of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, according to a report by the UK Department for Transport's Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
The report found the right-hand engine's thrust reverser assembly had become damaged and the incident, which took place in December 2012, was the "fifteenth similar occurrence" known to manufacturer Boeing.
