Hi DJ,
Like them a lot,, can beat a good sunset shot

From the pictures it looks like the fan is intact , after seeing the test of the trent 900 in which a fan blade is dislodged by a small eplosive charge and the ensuing complete and utter distruction of the engine, this would point to something other than a fan blade braking off

If EWR, is COA hub , you would think that the Pilots would be well versed in this type of approach ,I know we are all human, and even I have been Known to make Mistakes, :eek:Surely their training should have taken over and then when they disappeared with out reporting this event, makes me more suspicious
There seems to have been a complete failure to follow procedures , or were the crew unaware of what they did ?, Either way I would Guess that both will be in a lot of trouble

I read the thread on PPRUNE, about this and they are saying that the aircraft was landing into the sun, if this is right, they were very lucky that there was no aircraft on the taxiway

Kind of worrying this ,you would think that the ILS would have shown that they had deviated from the main runway , and even the visual aids should have made their mistake quite obvious and what where the Guys in the tower doing
With the fact that they dissapeared quite quickly makes you wonder if they were Fit to be flying the aircraft

great shots there , could you tell me from where abouts you took them and what lens you used ,
