Engine parts of Air France A380 which suffered uncontained engine failure have been found in Greenland
Back in September 2017 many might remember an Air France A380 that suffered an uncontained engine failure over Greenland. Well... a discovery in the ice and snow has led to the finding of parts from the number 4 engine. They are to be sent to Engine Alliance for inspection.

I would venture to say that they will find evidence of an old crack or at least a point where a manufacturing defect of the part allowed it to fail. Was this part forged or cast? Each offers different types of defects.
I am guessing that as the general area was known,they used radar to pinpoint it, but the article is a bit thin on details.
Amazed they can find this small fan how far down in the snow and yet an entire 777 is still missing
Perhaps being 2000x deeper has a tiny bit to do with, along with the fact they don't have a really good idea of where to look. Just guessing.
define missing?
