Boeing faces fresh safety questions after engine fire on flight from Scotland

Boeing is facing renewed safety concerns following an engine fire incident on a Delta Air Lines flight from Edinburgh to New York in February of the previous year. The emergency landing at Prestwick airport was prompted by a turbine blade breaking off during takeoff, causing flames to briefly shoot from the engine. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration take action with Boeing to ensure compliance with safety standards. Despite no injuries, fuel leakage from the wing was observed, leading to the ignition of the fuel by the engine's hot air exhaust. This incident adds to a series of safety issues involving Boeing aircraft, including previous criminal charges related to crashes and a cabin panel blowing out mid-air. The company has faced criticism from whistleblowers regarding safety culture and management. Boeing's history of safety incidents has led to management changes and regulatory sanctions, highlighting ongoing concerns about the safety of its aircraft.
