Good find Rolls Royce up to its silly games again .. back in the 70s and early 80s they had all sorts of problems with the RB211s

as a follow on the pilot has released a book about the incident, no sugar coating or hero complexes in the book, highly recommend it, amazing to think that the plane survived this black swan event and a credit to the crew who landed it safely, the book it called QF32. sullenburger also has a book coming out that could be an interesting read too.

Thanks Jas , I sure that listed couple weeks back , was'nt sure it was about the same flight

no worries ian. thought you would like the book, just make sure your shelves are wobbly proof!!!! sullenburger's two books are titled Highest Duty, My Search for What Really Matters and Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage from America's Leaders, the second is more about ledership than flying where as the first focus more on his path that led to the ditching. haven't got the books yet but sounds like an interesting read. but again can highly recommend qf32
