"There were no passengers aboard. Two pilots were flying to California when they encountered engine problems about 10 minutes after takeoff, said Rod Johnson, spokesman for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority."
Regardless of whether it's Boeing's or GE's fault, the consequences will hurt GE.

You did not do the accent right.
I'm sure you'll be where you always are, sitting in your chair with only your underwear on
I don't know about the rest of you, but I won't be flying on any airliner with LEAP-1Bs on it anytime soon!
It doesn't take a genius to see there's a problem. NTSB hasn't yet reached a conclusion yet on the other hull loss incidents, and you can bet that this new incident has not gone unnoticed by the investigators who are trying to piece together what may have happened.
We shall see. Of course, GE always picks the worst time for things to go wrong. It's not like we're dependent on Aviation to keep delivering the goods so the rest of us can stay afloat (sarcasm).
could have led to reduction in thrust, which then triggered MCAS
Brilliant! I was wondering how it could all be GE's fault. Let's hope for the worst.
1gbf, sure Bud you nailed it. NTSB with its dozens of experts and unlimited resources couldn’t figure out the problem that you’ve managed to root-cause from your couch...amazing!
"The FAA says it's investigating but the emergency was not related to anti-stall software that is suspected as a cause of the two fatal crashes including one last year involving a plane from Indonesia.
Southwest said the plane's pilots reported a "performance issue" with an engine shortly after taking off for the California airport, where it was flying to be in short-term storage."
I wonder if the other two planes had issues with the LEAP all along, and blame had just been cast on the MCAS as it was the easy target...
It's notable that all three incidents have occurred during the same phase of flight. An engine issue could have led to reduction in thrust, which then triggered MCAS, making it that much harder for the crew to control the aircraft.

I don't think Aviation will be able to hide from this forever...
And your point is?
FAST works?
GE Leap Engine...why doesn’t the news call GE our?
