Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff.

The Garuda Indonesia flight was bound for Medina, Saudi Arabia, which is the entry point for many Muslims making their pilgrimage to Mecca. It left from Indonesia’s international airport in Makassar, where clips showed one of the plane’s four engines becoming engulfed in flames during takeoff on Wednesday evening.

Videos of the engine fire were shared online by JACDEC, a plane crash data evaluation firm, which showed that the flames began just as the plane had lifted from the runway.

completed an approximately 90-minute holding pattern before safely returning to and landing in Makassar.

Lol wtf!? I get that it was past the point of no return and had to commit to take off but a 90 min wait to land again seems insane.

747s are designed to lose an engine in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and still be able to return to land safely. Literally.

90m isn't ideal, but perfectly fine.

Can we have other internet infrastructure built that way too?

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, we have already.

The Internet was designed to be resilient against nuclear war. Most protocols are resilient, it's just been the last few years that some companies abused their positions (Cloudflare, Google) and it also came to light, that some protocols have been designed with a tad too much trust (BGP, SMTP).

I am aware.. I meant more so with the recent trends.. We have p2p ffs. So its not the tech its how its being built.
