A380 Engine Failure

Yep thats a lot of bucks for effectively at the moment, a production run of say 100 engines total, but I'd say that RR is offering them atleast at 60% real cost.
Scaling up an enstablished and reliable engine will always cause problems different from the source engine.
I initially though it might have been a Bird Strike; thats a effing huge turbofan engine intake per engine the suction generated at climbing flight power by 4 of those monsters might have sucked a bird in from far ahead that was otherwise trying to fly away from the approaching Flying Lusitania

The following by Geo Jonas of The National Post is the most descriptive piece I have read on the recent Quantas A-380 RR Trent engine mishap.
