    Two interesting questions for me here.

    1. The Delta and BA Heathrow incident show the dangers of this engine problem but is the issue enough to warrant grounding the 777s while a modification to the engine is made. BA and others are being cautiously pragmatic, realising that there the issue if managed properly will not be a danger to passengers but it must be a concern.
    2. What are the NTSB doing trying to achieve by releasing their opinions before the actual investigator does so. This seems to be bizarre to me, especially if they are echoing what the AAIB have already established?
