Boeing plane part falls off, strikes wing flap during takeoff in Denver

[DENVERPOPS]

57. It hasn't been but a couple of years

since a United/Boeing plane, leaving Denver, had an "un-contained, self dismantling," of an engine flying out of Denver......
The exact same "dismantling" occurred on that SWest Airline engine, that was safely landed by a former female fighter pilot.

Watching "Air Disasters" and hearing about the cockpit crew not being able to know what is happening to the entire plane behind their seats makes me wonder why aren't there cockpit screen displays of tiny cameras mounted around the aircraft in strategic places?????? Hell, they install them on cars these days, why not aircraft. Any moisture problem, and they could have simple heaters like the Pito (sp) Heaters, windshield heaters or leading edge of wing heaters.....
Seems like a hell of a handicap to the pilots in an emergency, to have to have the passengers or flight attendants tell the cockpit crew what is going on.....
In the old days, with a cockpit crew of three, they could send the flight engineer back to see what was happening and report back to the pilots.......Back then, if there was a malfunction, it was helpful to have the third person specifically watching the instruments and calling out problems to the pilots.....Same thing as the Railroads getting rid of the manned caboose. The train engineers can not see anything to the rear, the caboose guy would be looking at the entire train in front of him to be able to call out any problem with the cars ahead of him......

It sure seems, that in the past, the corporations were all in a race to build the best/safest product. That somehow got replaced with a race to a greater bottom line. An excellent example is house hold appliances.....I have a Sears freezer handed down from my parents to me, that must be 70? years old and still running just fine, same with a sears fridge we had for 50 years before it died. An appliance repair guy told me that we would be lucky to have our replacement for that old fridge last 5-10 years. And the new appliances all cost 3-4 times as much as they used to.....
