This is not a Boeing problem, this was an engine problem and Boeing does not make engines. Investigators will need to determine if the engine failure was the result of a faulty part or a lack of proper inspection and maintenance.

Yes. Except, perceptually this will be seen as another Boeing 'problem'; the general public isn't aware that aircraft manufacturers outsource the engines for technical reasons.

Ok so the engine broke apart. Pilots are trained for that. I've flown Norwegian, its not my favorite airline.
Trent 1000 issues are known, but this failure raises questions as to whether the mandated inspection regime for these engines was followed.

Norwegian has a high utilization rate- turnarounds one after another between europe and north american destinations. Fifteen plus hours day after day is what they fly their 787's.

Trent 1000 gives me goose bumps, ruptured pipe, pre-mature IPT blades fracture ... what are the economical and technical impacts in swapping them out?

15 hours utilisation a day is definitely not high!!!

Whether it's a car or plane, spitting out parts behind you while moving is not desirable.For better or worse, the general public see's you have a problem. Right now, the only thing people are seeing is the name Boeing. Boeing needs to step up and clear their name.
