Détails:
A Boeing 747-269B airplane, N707CK, had an uncontained engine failure during climb-out from the Anchorage International Airport, Alaska. There were no injuries to the five crewmembers aboard.
During climbout, the Boeing 747 crew noted a loud 'thump,' followed by a change in the number three engine instrument indications. One crewmember noted there was a fist-sized hole in the side of the engine cowling. The captain shut down the number three engine, returned to the departure airport, and landed without further incident. A post landing inspection revealed that the inboard aileron sustained substantial damage.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The failure of a turbine blade, and subsequent penetration of the shroud (containment ring). A factor associated with the accident was the FAA's insufficient design standards/requirements addressed in an FAA Airworthiness Directive, which called for a strengthened containment ring. The failed containment ring was in compliance with the Air Worthiness Directive."
