Site seems dead, Google Cache: <a href="http://goo.gl/a216o" rel="nofollow">http://goo.gl/a216o</a> EDIT: Apparently there are pictures of the cockpit with the error messages etc, text-only doesn't do this article justice.

Very interesting.<p>It's amazing how the pilots can remain calm in such circumstances. I wonder what they told the passengers. "One of our engines blew up and two are not working in full capacity, but don't worry everything is fine".<p>I would also be interested in knowing why the engine blew up in the first place. Seems to me that the ECAM messages were less than helpful sometimes. Which reminded me of how we approach error reporting in the applications that we develop where we report on individual problems and not necessarily relate that to the overall state of the system.

Thanks for posting this @davi. I look forward to reading the full article when it comes back online (the link by @oomkiller is a good start, but I really would like to see the source article).<p>I don't know about everyone else, but reading about these kinds of incidents from the pilot's perspective makes me <i>more</i> confident about flying, not less. I have zero doubt that those folks are professionals.

It's interesting just how many different systems needed to be considered by the pilots after the incident. I've read articles before about how a pilots routine job can be very boring but it's good to know they have built up all that experience and training for moments like these.

This must be getting hammered from somewhere with a bigger audience than here. Doesn't load for me.
