Same outfit that had another 747's #2 engine fan blades_badly_damaged by
ingesting something. Was so out of balance that they couldn't run the
engine. Was dispatched from China with #2 shutdown and the fan secured to
the first stage stator vanes with seat belts from the cabin to prevent it
windmilling and shaking itself out of the engine mounts. On a revenue flight
with passengers, mind you. Landed in Germany and the Germans impounded it
until it was fixed. Man, what a bunch of maroons. I'd take the bus before
getting on one of theirs. Wish I could have heard what the Germans said
when they saw it.
