Yup, Boeing can't catch a break.
The 777 was able to return to the airport with 200+ people.

Thankfully it has 2 engines.
Back in the day they wouldn't certify a 2 engine aircraft for some long flights, particularly over water. Which is why the DC-10 and Lockheed Tristar were built with an engine in the tail. As time passed jet engines were deemed more reliable, and so they allowed larger planes to be certified for very long flights with 2 engines.
An airliner is ridiculously overpowered. But that's the safety margin.

no , it is not . You will see next time you dogfight anything from the current crop of fighters in one , you know , as a lark , sorry , serious study ... Luckily it means nothing about the actual thing of carrying people around . Bigger engine works more air with more efficiencies , mass production increases profit , less numbers of things to control and fix decreases maintenance costs , ETOPS or whatever rules were regularly relaxed over time and 4 or rarer 3 engined airliners will go extinct .
If I read the press release correctly, this is exactly the case

My guess is that there are two reasons for that camera: First, these images are going to be part of the after action analysis of how well the landing went and how far it was from failure. Second, they serve as a check if everything is in order before they start to move anything. Especially when the landing went not exactly as expected, such images could be invaluable for recovery actions.
Cameras can be built fairly compact and lightweight these days (probably mostly due to the development on smartphone cameras). So it makes a lot of sense to stick them everywhere they fit.

so , it turns out USAF , too , is looking for a fighter . An F-16 but not F-16 , because Lockmart would gouge Pentagon so hard after the cut in F-35 numbers that the Chinese would invade America just by flying on regular airline service . See , Bidon Administration plays ostrich , ignoring who has been invited and whatnot and talking on how they might buy an F-16 that would be developed by General Dynamics before they got sidetracked into Agile Falcon , which became the Japanese F-2 after some "castration" . Ah yes , not selling any , because of not having any . And even this early fans are already buying Gripens or Korean . Happy hunting Falcons , my man , happy hunting ...

and ı love the extra two or three pages of talk somewhere on the web about how New Turkey's plans for Quantum is unrealistic , you know , the Qatari jet designed in Ankara this because , let me see , we can not clone the F-110 engine . Right under the new USAF to have thing , in which we learn the matchless companies involved in the F-35 have been in the snake oil business , while good people ask their Turkish "friends" to provide answers to like legitimate questions . Will discover the extent of "their" friends , no particular desire to post so that they can legitimately ban my fake account and by God , you will hear when we start fielding stuff with 3200 celcius turbine entry stuff .
ah , yeah , also another UFO penetration of the US .

one should be careful about brands , considering Pratt will still be there when Rolls Royce isn't . Oldest 777 flying or something with an equally old engine in a company that had some sort of the same thing in the same flight number , meaning the plane was operating between the same city pairs like 2 or 3 years back . ı probably must look for it but obviously it is a company policy that had cut down inspection on centrifugal wear stuff .

Manufacturers produce guidelines on how frequently (flights, air hours or time)
their products must be inspected and most airlines do stick to them.
It likely remains to be seen whether the airline was non complaint with adequate
guidelines or whether the manufacturers need to revise those guidelines.

looks like "dare mighty things" is the parachute code from the @NASAJPL perseverance rover
the phrase is on signs all around JPL (e.g. the EDL War Room)
redditor, /u/rdtwt1, put together a python script for the solve
adithya added some comments and a diagram to explain what the code

Spoiler More pics :
Has anyone decoded the outer ring?
Edit:
Looks like the JPL coordinates

ah yes , sure enough , same engine model apparently threw out an exactly same type of a fan blade on the same day , but on a 747 taking off in Netherlands lightly wounding two on the ground . Also said to have had happened in Japan in December . Wonder who is hurting for contracts ?
