After Boeing 787 took off, the engine sprayed debris as follows： ＂Iron Rain＂ over Rome.

　　The engine of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner of norwegian air shuttle Company broke down shortly after taking off on the 11th, and hot metal fragments flew out of the engine, which caused an "iron rain" in the Italian capital Rome.

　　The Times reported on the 12th that 25 cars and 12 houses were damaged to varying degrees in fiumicino, a suburb of Rome. Fortunately, no one was injured. Italian media reported that a man sunbathing in the garden was almost hit by debris. A small piece of debris burned the T-shirt he was wearing.

　　At about 4 pm on the 11th, the plane flew over the incident area at a height of about 400 meters, and the engine fragments about 5 to 10 centimeters long and sharp and hot fell, damaging the roof and car glass, setting the lawn on fire and leaving a small pit on the road.

　　Paula Dilazzaro, a resident, told the Italian newspaper Courier that the incident was "like the next big hail", but the sun was still there. "I went to the balcony, saw a steel storm, and then ran back to the house screaming". After the "iron rain" stopped, she found that a piece of hot metal smashed the rear windshield of her daughter’s car and set fire to a jacket on the back of the car.

　　The passenger plane, carrying 298 passengers, originally flew to Los Angeles, USA. After the incident, it spilled oil over the Adriatic Sea and made an emergency landing at fiumicino Airport.

　　Norwegian air shuttle said that the passenger plane "encountered technical problems a few minutes after take-off … … Then return to the airport and land safely. " The airline operator said that in view of the fact that the investigation is still going on, it cannot respond to media questions.

　　This passenger plane uses the "Trent 1000" engine made by British Rolls-Royce Company. This kind of engine has had many problems since it came out, and its high-pressure turbine blades are easy to crack, which once led to the grounding of passenger planes.

　　A Rolls-Royce spokesman said: "The aging rate of blades is faster than expected. We have found cracks that have occurred prematurely, but we have a solution." She said that the running Trent 1000 engine had never "airborne" metal fragments before.

　　Gregory Arlegui, an Italian aviation expert, said that the separation of metal fragments is a rare "non-inclusive fault". Although the safety of Boeing has been widely questioned due to two fatal air crashes, Arlegui believes that the focus of people’s attention on this incident will be the "engine manufacturer".
