CFM International CFM56-7B 

spit a blade today that went thru a passenger window, nearly sucking the 61 year old man to his doom.  Good thing he was a hefty boy and didn't fit.  


SO, had they stopped changing the original design of the 737 with bigger and stupider engines....this blade would have happily just stabbed itself in the under wing area some where.....but no, we had to push the engines way out forward in front of the leading edge of the wings where when it decides to spit blades, it sends shrapnel everywhere.  Way to go boeing engineers!  Keep winning.

The engines got like 30% bigger. It was they only way they could do it without - re-certification

Just to pop off with some smarta-ss comment.


Ignores the fact they kept changing this engine design since inception.....Instead of just build a new aircraft in original safety parameters.....


Max 8, Latest iteration that is so inherently unstable it takes a computer to keep it in the air like it's a freaking F-16.

Not what the original engineers intended at all.
