United Airlines engine failureThe recent United Airlines engine failure causing debris to fall is not the first such incident in the history of aviation (“Pictures: Debris falls from plane during emergency landing near Denver, US”, Gulf News, February 21). Earlier also, dozens of flights were grounded due to negligence and proper maintenance. After this incident, United Airlines immediately decided to ground dozens of Boeing 777 jetliners. Today, the fastest mode of transportation is air travel, and especially during these challenging times, authorities should be more responsible and not add fear into people's minds. The aviation industry should look into the passengers' safety. I appreciate the immediate action taken by United Airlines to induce confidence in its valued customers.
