Both engines were examined at the crash site and at a hangar at Kennedy Airport. No evidence was found of an uncontained engine failure, loss of blades, bird strike or in-flight fire. The thrust reversers were in the stowed position. The engines will be taken to the American Airlines maintenance facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a detailed tear-down in a few weeks.
From NTSB UPDATE ON NTSB INVESTIGATION INTO CRASH OF AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT 587
http://www.ntsb.gov/Pressrel/2001/011120.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------
I regret having written the headline "Flight 587 Programmed to Crash." I did just what I have critized newspapers for doing: I wrote a sensationalist headline that was not supported by facts. (The article I wrote below the headline was OK.)
260 people on board the aircraft were killed, and at least six people on the ground. I pray none of their families or friends read my stupid headline. I intend remember to this lesson in the future. I'm sorry.
