Damn, UA plane has a catastrophic engine failure after departing DIA. They landed safely.

My house is outside of the debris field, but the plane probably came very close to flying over my house on the way back to DIA.

Just saw the local news report on this and...

Luckily this eye opening incident happened, literally, minuets (less than 20 miles) after taking off from DIA, not somewhere over the 2700ish miles of water it was going to fly over!

It would have seemed much longer on the plane, but i would guess that the plane was in the air less than 20 min total.

Another lucky thing is its a bit of a cold, overcast day so the park where some debris landed was unusually empty. Thank goodness nobody on the ground, or the airplane, was injured.

From a lability standpoint, far too much damage happened from (relatively light weight) falling debris, but from a ME standpoint, so many safety things worked correctly and the plane was able to make a controlled/safe landing!

That ring looks to have landed on his truck first.

They would probably refuse, but if I were these people I would request to keep, after the investigation, that piece of aluminum.

I would make it a planter in the back yard or something.

Yea, I hope the guy (or gal) had Farmer's Insurance. They should get at least five years free premiums when the new commercial comes out........" Jet engine fallin from the sky? We covered it!" JK Simmons....logo shot.....fade out.

If the truck still runs he/she should get that ring to the scrap yard before the investigators formally seize it. Finders, keepers!
