Last week, a plane had to make an emergency landing at Heathrow airport soon after take off as one of the engines failed. No one was injured. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the engine cowls (covers) on both the engines were left unlocked and came off during take off, damaging the engine and other parts.
The air accident investigation board's report indicates that there had been 32 previously reported fan cowl door detachment events, 80% of which had occurred during the takeoff phase of flight!
