I delivered the news yesterday (21st) that an airplane flying in the United States had its engine broken and debris fell into the residential area.
However, there was a similar accident in the Netherlands.
Both aircraft were using engines made by the same company.
Aircraft companies have recommended that aircraft with the engine in question be discontinued.

Airliner debris falls into residential areas with a loud noise.
On the 20th, the engine of a United Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft in flight in Denver, USA, fell in flames.
[hear?
(Mom, Mom!) Something seems to have exploded.]
An initial investigation by the Federal Transportation Safety Commission revealed that two engine wings were broken, and the other wing was also damaged at the tip and side of the wing.
On the same day, however, a Boeing freighter heading to New York in the Netherlands suffered an engine failure shortly after takeoff and made an emergency landing.
In the process, metal debris fell from the aircraft engine and crashed, and two residents on the ground were injured.
This freighter is a different Boeing 747 than the airliner that crashed in the United States, but the engine is the same as the PW 4000 family of American manufacturer Pratt & Whitney.
In the wake of a series of engine debris crashes, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has completely suspended 32 passenger aircraft of the Boeing 777 equipped with the engine.
In Japan, in December of last year, a Boeing 777 airliner equipped with the same engine returned to the voyage shortly after takeoff due to damage to engine parts.
Boeing, the manufacturer of the aircraft, recommended that the 777 equipped with the engine be discontinued, and the Federal Aviation Administration also ordered more inspections.
