Comment on Qantas Airbus A380 engine failure in 2010 (2023)

disc fragments didn't kill anyone just by accident. Have they not considered not seating anyone in the plane of the discs...

The problem is they can come out at up to a 30 degree angle so that would mean leaving out a lot of seats especially on a wide body quad-engined plane. Even on a narrow twin you'd already lose like 6 rows which makes it basically unviable.

Ahh yeah. I thought they just go on one narrow plane...
